On January 29, 2013, Toys “R” Us Iberia Real Estate S.L.U. (“TRU Iberia Real Estate”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Toys “R” Us, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a 3 year senior secured term loan facility agreement (the “Spain Propco Facility Agreement”). The total size of the Spain Propco Facility Agreement is €75 million. In connection with this loan, the Company provided the lenders a deficiency guarantee with respect to certain losses the lenders may suffer in certain circumstances.
TRU Iberia Real Estate is required to repay the principal of the loan in amounts equal to €22.5 million, €22.5 million and €30 million in the first, second and third years of the loan, respectively. The loan bears interest equal to EURIBOR plus a margin of 6% per annum. The Company has entered into a 2% interest rate cap as required under the Spain Propco Facility Agreement. The loan matures on January 29, 2016. The loan is secured by 26 properties located in Spain.
TRU Iberia Real Estate used the gross proceeds from the loan, together with cash on hand, to repay the loan under its existing €127 million Spain Propco Facility Agreement dated January 23, 2006.
On January 23, 2013, Toys “R” Us France Real Estate SAS (“TRU France Real Estate”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, received an extension for the maturity date of its €61 million France Propco Facility Agreement dated January 23, 2006 (the “France Propco Facility Agreement”).
