Summary
Children's Place has drawn a $25 million term loan from Mithaq Capital SPC, its controlling shareholder, under a Shariah-compliant, unsecured and subordinated promissory note. This is the second advance under a $40 million commitment letter, and the remaining availability has been permanently reduced to zero.
The loan matures on April 16, 2031, and carries a floating interest rate of SOFR plus 9.00% per annum, with monthly cash interest payments that the company may defer upon written notice to Mithaq.
The company intends to use the net proceeds to prepay amounts outstanding under its Wells Fargo revolving credit facility, reduce a portion of its accounts payable balances with vendors, and for other general corporate purposes. The transaction was reviewed and approved as a related-person transaction under company policies, given Mithaq's controlling shareholder status and the fact that two company directors hold roles at Mithaq entities, including the Executive Chairman and the President/Interim CEO. For retail holders, the key concern is the related-party nature of this financing. While the loan provides liquidity to pay down senior debt and manage vendor obligations, the high interest rate and the involvement of the controlling shareholder warrant attention. The company also entered into conforming amendments to its senior debt documents to reflect the new Mithaq term loans as pari passu with other Mithaq term loans, without increasing commitments or principal amounts under the senior facilities.
