Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Amendment of Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

 

On February 8, 2013, The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. (“NMG”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) of its existing Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (the “Facility”).  The Amendment, among other things, provides for (i) a reduction in the interest rate margin applicable to the loans outstanding under the Facility from (x) 3.50% per annum to 3.00% for LIBOR loans and (y) 2.50% per annum to 2.00% for ABR loans, (ii) a lowering of the “LIBOR Floor” for loans outstanding under the Facility from 1.25% to 1.00% (collectively, clauses (i) and (ii) the “Repricing”) and (iii) the borrowing of incremental term loans, the proceeds of which will be used to repay the outstanding loans of lenders that do not consent to the Repricing (the “Non-Consenting Lenders”) in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $99.58 million, which is the amount of loans held by such Non-Consenting Lenders.

 

The terms of the Amendment are set forth in an amendment dated as of February 8, 2013 to the existing credit agreement.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
