On February 21, 2013, Toys “R” Us Properties (UK) Limited (“UK Propco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Toys “R” Us, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a commitment letter with certain lenders with respect to a refinancing of UK Propco’s current approximately $620 million junior and senior secured real estate credit facilities. Pursuant to the commitment letter, the lenders will provide approximately $380 million in financing. The Company intends to fund the balance needed for the refinancing from available liquidity and approximately $51 million face amount of notes held by the Company issued in the related securitization of the existing senior real estate credit facility. The Company expects the refinancing to be completed prior to the maturity of the existing real estate credit facilities. There can be no assurances, however, that this new financing will be completed as it is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to, the execution of mutually agreeable documentation.
