Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 15, 2017, Edgewell Personal Care, LLC, as the Seller ("Seller"), and Edgewell Personal Care Company, as Guarantor (the "Company"), entered into a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement") with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as the Purchaser ("BTMU"), a copy of which is attached to this filing as Exhibit 10.1. Under the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Seller, a U.S. operating subsidiary of the Company, will sell a pool of trade accounts receivable from certain designated obligors, on a revolving basis, to BTMU (the "Receivables Sale Program"). Seller will service and administer the subject receivables for BTMU and will be paid a servicing fee for such services. The Company will guarantee the obligations of Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
The maximum amount which may be advanced to Seller at any one time in the form of a discounted purchase price for the trade receivables pursuant to the Receivables Sale Program is $150 million. The discount rate used to determine the purchase price for the subject receivables is based upon LIBOR plus a margin applicable to the specified obligor (currently 95 basis points for all obligors).
The term of the Receivables Purchase Agreement will end on September 14, 2018, subject to automatic 364-day extensions unless Seller or BTMU elects not to extend the term. Additionally, either Seller or BTMU may terminate the Receivables Purchase Agreement at any time after the initial 364-day term upon 30 days written notice.
The Receivables Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants as to the Company, Seller and the subject receivables. The purchase and sale of subject receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the Purchaser to Seller for the creditworthiness of any obligor. Only under certain limited circumstances, including a material breach of a representation or warranty as to a subject receivable or a breach by Seller of certain of its servicing obligations as to the subject receivables, would Seller be obligated to repurchase some or all of the previously sold receivables.
BTMU is currently a lender under the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility. In addition, BTMU and/or its affiliates have or may have had various relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of a variety of financial services, including investment banking, underwriting, commercial banking and letters of credit, for which it and/or its affiliates receive or received customary fees and, in some cases, out-of-pocket expenses.
This summary does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 below and incorporated herein by reference.
