Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 1, 2012, Michaels Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously disclosed redemption of the remaining outstanding $180.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 13% Subordinated Discount Notes due 2016 (the “Subordinated Discount Notes”) issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 31, 2006 (the “Subordinated Discount Notes Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee (as successor trustee to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association).

 

The Company redeemed a portion of the Subordinated Discount Notes (which consisted of $0.4 million in aggregate principal amount) equal to the AHYDO Amount (as defined in the Subordinated Discount Notes Indenture) at a redemption price equal to 100% and the remaining Subordinated Discount Notes (which consisted of $179.6 million in aggregate principal amount) at a redemption price equal to 104.333%, in each case plus accrued but unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date.  The Company did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the redemption of the Subordinated Discount Notes beyond the 4.333% redemption premium described above.  The redemption was funded with borrowings under the Company’s senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility provided for in the second amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of September 17, 2012, by and among the Company, the other borrowers party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto.
