Bath & Body Works entered into an amended and restated senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (ABL Facility) on May 22, 2025, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the counterparty named in the exhibit. The facility matures five years after closing, but the maturity can be pulled forward to 91 days before a senior notes maturity if excess availability and the EBITDAR-to-fixed-charges ratio fall below specified levels. The filing gives no borrowing amount for the facility, so its size relative to the company's existing debt cannot be determined from this document.
Maturity is five years after closing, with a springing acceleration tied to senior notes maturities, excess availability below $200 million and a fixed-charge ratio below 1.10:1.00.
Interest is SOFR or CORRA plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, or 0.25% to 0.75% on base rate loans; unused commitments accrue a fee of 0.25% to 0.30%.
Obligations are secured by first-priority liens on receivables, deposit accounts, inventory and, at the company's election, real property, and by second-priority liens on other assets.
A financial maintenance covenant requires a 1.00:1.00 EBITDAR to fixed charges ratio when excess availability falls below the greater of $70 million and 10.0% of the maximum borrowing amount.
