Best Buy signs new $1.25 billion five-year credit facility, replacing prior one
On April 18, 2025, Best Buy entered into a new $1.25 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility with U.S. Bank as administrative agent, and terminated its previous $1.25 billion facility, which was scheduled to expire in April 2028. No amounts are currently outstanding, and the new facility matures in April 2030 with terms the filing describes as substantially the same as the previous one. For shareholders, this is a refinancing that extends the facility's maturity, with borrowing costs tied to the company's senior unsecured debt rating.
Key points
- Facility permits borrowings of up to $1.25 billion, terminates in April 2030, and had no amounts outstanding at filing.
- Replaces the previous $1.25 billion facility dated April 12, 2023, which was terminated April 18, 2025 and was scheduled to expire in April 2028.
- Term SOFR margin ranges from 0.565% to 1.015%, the ABR margin from 0.000% to 0.015%, and the facility fee from 0.060% to 0.110%, based on the senior unsecured debt rating.
- Guaranteed by certain subsidiaries; includes a maximum quarterly cash flow leverage ratio covenant and customary affirmative and negative covenants.
