Summary
Kohl's amended its revolving credit facility to extend the maturity date five years to 2031, providing the retailer with stable access to liquidity well into the next decade. The amendment also reduces borrowing costs by eliminating a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment and simplifying the pricing grid to a single availability breakpoint.
For a company navigating the competitive retail environment, these changes lower financing expenses and defer refinancing risk. The addition of an in-transit inventory basket—allowing up to 15% of the borrowing base to include goods in transit—is a practical enhancement for managing seasonal inventory cycles. This expands available liquidity when Kohl's needs it most during peak buying periods.
The introduction of a Debt Maturity Reserve in the availability calculation is a minor tightening, but reflects prudent liquidity management as other obligations come due. Overall, this is a routine refinancing that strengthens Kohl's financial flexibility without introducing new covenants or material restrictions.

The Second Amendment also modifies the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility by (i) replacing the previous pricing grid’s 33% and 66% availability breakpoints with a single 50% availability breakpoint to determine the Applicable Margin (which now ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% for Base Rate Loans and 1.25% to 1.50% for SOFR Loans); and (ii) removing the prior 0.10% credit spread adjustment from Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility).
The pricing structure was simplified to a single 50% availability breakpoint, with margins ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% for Base Rate Loans and 1.25% to 1.50% for SOFR Loans. The removal of the 0.10% credit spread adjustment on Term SOFR effectively reduces borrowing costs.

Additionally, the Second Amendment modifies the borrowing base to include an in-transit inventory basket, allowing for the inclusion of eligible in-transit inventory up to a maximum of 15% of the total value of the borrowing base.
Kohl's can now include eligible in-transit inventory up to 15% of the borrowing base, which increases available liquidity under the facility. This is particularly relevant for a retailer managing seasonal inventory flows.
