ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Credit Agreement
On February 11, 2013, Blue Nile, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Lender”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $35,000,000 (the “Credit Limit”) unsecured, revolving credit facility. The term of the Credit Agreement is one (1) year.
Subject to the terms and conditions of th Credit Agreement, Lender shall make advances to the Company from time to time, until the termination date (“Revolving Loan”), with the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed the Credit Limit. The obligation of the Company to repay the Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the “Revolving Note”) made by the Company to the order of Lender. The interest on the Revolving Loan is the daily reset LIBOR rate plus 1.65%. The fee for the unused portion of the Credit Limit is equal to 0.15% per annum. During an event of default under the Credit Agreement, interest shall accrue at 3.0% in excess of the interest rate otherwise applicable.
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company must reduce the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan to no more than zero for a minimum of 30 consecutive days annually. The Credit Agreement further provides that the Company maintain compliance with certain covenants, including, among other things: (1) maintenance by the Company of at least $20,000,000 in accounts with the Lender at the end of each fiscal quarter; and (2) maintenance by the Company of a fixed charge coverage ratio equal to at least 1.25 to 1.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including, among other things: non-payment of any payment or reimbursement due under the Credit Agreement; material breach of a representation or warranty; failure to perform any term, covenant or agreement with Lender; cross-default on certain other indebtedness; defaults on other financial obligations; a material portion of the Company's property is affected by uninsured loss, destruction or condemnation; bankruptcy and insolvency events; final judgment on claims in excess of $1,000,000 not covered by insurance; and the revocation of any material governmental approval. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender may elect to terminate its commitment to make advances to the Company, declare amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, or exercise its right to setoff against deposit accounts the Company has with the Lender or the Lender's affiliates.
A copy of the Credit Agreement and the Revolving Note is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference as though they were fully set forth herein. The description above is a summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement and Revolving Note, does not provide a complete description of the Credit Agreement and Revolving Note, and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of each of the Credit Agreement and Revolving Note.
