BJ's Wholesale amends term loan, new $400 million tranche cuts rate margin to SOFR+1.75%
BJ's Wholesale Club and subsidiaries signed a Fifth Amendment to their First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement on November 4, 2024. The amendment provides a new $400 million tranche of term loans that refinances the existing Tranche B Term Loans, and lowers the applicable interest margin from SOFR plus 2.00% to SOFR plus 1.75%. The change alters the company's borrowing terms and interest cost, but the filing does not state a figure for expected savings.
Key points
- Fifth Amendment dated November 4, 2024, with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC as administrative and collateral agent
- New $400 million 2024 Term Loans refinance and replace the existing Tranche B Term Loans in full
- Applicable margin reduced from SOFR plus 2.00% to SOFR plus 1.75% per annum upon effectiveness
