Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On May 30, 2018, the Second Lien Borrowers elected to pay interest on the Second Lien Term Loan by increasing the principal amount of the Second Lien Term Loan. In connection with this election by the Second Lien Borrowers, the principal amount of the portion of the Second Lien Term Loan held by Partners and Mr. Lampert was increased accordingly, and no cash consideration was paid by either JPP or JPP II in connection with this increase to the principal amount of the Second Lien Term Loan. As a result of the foregoing, (i) JPP may acquire up to an additional 327,965 shares of Holdings Common Stock within 60 days upon the conversion of the Second Lien Term Loan into shares of Holdings Common Stock, and (ii) JPP II may acquire up to an additional 149,807 shares of Holdings Common Stock within 60 days upon the conversion of the Second Lien Term Loan into shares of Holdings Common Stock.
In a grant of shares of Holdings Common Stock by Holdings on May 31, 2018, pursuant to the Extension Letter between Holdings and Mr. Lampert, Mr. Lampert acquired an additional 159,575 shares of Holdings Common Stock. Mr. Lampert received the shares of Holdings Common Stock as consideration for serving as Chief Executive Officer, and no cash consideration was paid by Mr. Lampert in connection with the receipt of such shares of Holdings Common Stock.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On June 4, 2018, Holdings, through Sears, Roebuck and Co., Kmart Stores of Illinois LLC, Kmart of Washington LLC, Kmart Corporation, SHC Desert Springs, LLC, Innovel Solutions, Inc., Sears Holdings Management Corporation, Maxserv, Inc., Troy Coolidge No. 13, LLC, Sears Development Co. and Big Beaver of Florida Development, LLC (collectively, the Consolidated RE Loan Borrowers), entities wholly-owned and controlled, directly or indirectly by Holdings, entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the Consolidated Loan Agreement) with JPP, as agent, and JPP, JPP II and Cascade, as lenders (collectively, with any of their permitted successors and assigns, the Consolidated RE Loan Lenders), which amends and restates the existing Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, as amended.
Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Consolidated Loan Agreement, an aggregate of approximately $779 million in loans were outstanding under both the existing Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, as amended, and the A&R Loan Facility Agreement, with an aggregate of approximately $322 million of those loans maturing on July 6, 2018. In connection with the Consolidated Loan Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of the loan outstanding under the Consolidated Loan Agreement was increased by approximately $186 million and Holdings concurrently repaid the approximately $186 million of loans outstanding under the A&R Loan Facility Agreement and terminated that agreement. In connection with terminating the A&R Loan Facility Agreement, the mortgages on the 13 real properties securing the A&R Loan Facility Agreement were released and these properties were pledged as collateral for the Consolidated Loan Agreement. Following the closing, the aggregate principal amount of the loan outstanding under the Consolidated Loan Agreement was approximately $779 million, which matures on July 20, 2020. In sum, the Consolidated Loan Agreement, together with the termination of the A&R Loan Facility Agreement, effectively resulted in the extension of approximately $322 million of loans to mature on July 20, 2020.
Approximately $93 million of the loan under the Consolidated Loan Agreement, which as of closing is held by Cascade, is structured as a first out tranche evidenced by promissory note A (Note A) and bears interest at LIBOR plus 6.50% per annum. The remainder of the loan under the Consolidated Loan Agreement is evidenced by promissory note B (Note B), which as of closing is held by JPP and bears interest at LIBOR plus 9.00% per annum.
The Consolidated RE Loan Borrowers paid approximately $1.6 million in upfront fees to the Consolidated RE Loan Lenders in connection with the entry into the Consolidated Loan Agreement. In addition, to the extent any portion of the loan evidenced by Note A remains outstanding on December 4, 2018, the Consolidated RE Loan Borrowers must pay the Consolidated RE Loan Lenders holding Note A an additional fee of 1.00% of the principal amount outstanding under Note A as of such date, and to the extent any portion of the loan evidenced by Note A remains outstanding on June 4, 2019, the Consolidated RE Loan Borrowers must pay the Consolidated RE Loan Lenders holding Note A an additional fee of 2.00% of the principal amount outstanding under Note A as of such date.
The loan under the Consolidated Loan Agreement is guaranteed by Holdings and is secured by a first priority lien on 69 real properties owned by the Consolidated RE Loan Borrowers, which include the 56 real properties securing the existing Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, as amended, as well as 13 real properties that previously secured the A&R Loan Facility Agreement. To the extent permitted under other debt of Holdings or its affiliates, the loan facility under the Consolidated Loan Agreement (the Consolidated RE Loan Facility) may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. The Consolidated RE Loan Borrowers are required to apply the net proceeds of the sale of any real property collateral to repay the loan under the Consolidated Loan Agreement. Any such prepayments or repayments will be applied first to Note A until Note A is repaid in full, and then to Note B.
The Consolidated Loan Agreement includes certain representations and warranties, indemnities and covenants, including with respect to the condition and maintenance of the real property collateral. The Consolidated Loan Agreement has certain events of default, including (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods) payment default, failure to comply with covenants, material inaccuracy of representation or warranty, and bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. If there is an event of default, the Consolidated RE Loan Lenders may declare all or any portion of the outstanding indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, exercise any rights they might have under any of the Consolidated RE Loan Facility documents (including against the collateral), and require the Consolidated RE Loan Borrowers to pay a default interest rate equal to the greater of (i) 2.5% in excess of the base interest rate and (ii) the prime rate plus 1%. As permitted under the Consolidated Loan Agreement, the ESL Lenders may syndicate and/or participate all or a portion of the loans they provided under the Consolidated Loan Agreement from time to time to unaffiliated third parties on the same terms.
The foregoing description of the Consolidated Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consolidated Loan Agreement, filed as Exhibit 99.68 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
