Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 16, 2019, Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (the “Company”), Tempur-Pedic Management, LLC (the “Additional Borrower”) and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into an amendment and restatement agreement (the “Amendment”) with the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”).
The Amendment, among other things, (i) amends and restates the Company’s existing senior secured credit agreement dated as of April 6, 2016 (as previously amended on April 4, 2017, January 8, 2019 and June 4, 2019, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated pursuant to the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto and the Agent and (ii) amends the guarantee and collateral agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $425 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a $425 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”, and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”) and an incremental facility in an aggregate amount of up to $550 million plus the amount of certain prepayments plus an additional unlimited amount subject to compliance with a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio test. The Revolving Credit Facility has a $60 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company used the proceeds under the Term Loan Facility to refinance outstanding borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement and terminated the existing revolving credit commitments. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility can be used to finance working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.
The maturity date of the Credit Facilities is October 16, 2024. Amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time until the maturity date. The Term Loan Facility is subject to quarterly amortization as set forth in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory prepayment in connection with certain debt issuances, asset sales and casualty events, subject to certain reinvestment rights. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions under the Credit Agreement are permitted at any time without payment of any prepayment premiums.
At the borrower’s election, loans made under the Credit Facilities will bear interest at either (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin or (ii) an Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio.
Certain of the Company’s present and future domestic subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under the Credit Facilities. The obligations under the Credit Facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Additional Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions, restricted payments, investments, prepayments of certain indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, changes in fiscal year, burdensome agreements or changes in the nature of its business. The Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default
In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to abide by certain financial covenants calculated for the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Specifically, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company and its subsidiaries not:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Permit its consolidated interest coverage ratio to be less than 3.00:1.00;
|
|
|
|
Permit its consolidated total leverage ratio to be greater than 5.00:1.00 (subject to a temporary step in connection with certain qualifying material acquisitions); and
|
|
|
|
Permit its consolidated secured leverage ratio to be greater than 3.50:1.00 (subject to a temporary step in connection with certain qualifying material acquisitions).

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Some of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have various relationships with the Company involving the provision of financial services, including other credit facilities with affiliates of the Company, cash management, investment banking, trust and other services.
