ABL Facility
Academy, Ltd., as borrower, and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an asset-based revolving $1 billion credit facility, dated March 8, 2024, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and collateral agent and other lenders party thereto (as amended to date, the “ABL Facility”). Borrowings, if any, under the ABL Facility bear interest, at our election, at adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%. The ABL Facility also provides a fee applicable to the unused commitments of 0.375%. The terms and conditions of the ABL Facility also require that we prepay outstanding loans under the ABL Facility under certain circumstances. As of May 2, 2026, no future prepayments of outstanding loans have been triggered under the terms and conditions of the ABL Facility.
As of May 2, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $7.6 million, all of which were issued under the ABL Facility, and we had no borrowings outstanding, leaving an available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility of $992.4 million.
Term Loan
Academy, Ltd., as borrower, together with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a seven-year $400 million senior secured term loan with UBS AG, Stamford Branch (as successor to Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Island Branch), as the administrative agent and collateral agent, the several other lenders, and the parties named therein on November 6, 2020 (as amended to date, the “Term Loan”). Borrowings under the Term Loan bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR with a floor of 0.75% rate plus a margin of 3.75%. As of May 2, 2026, the weighted average interest rate was 7.53%, with interest payable monthly. Quarterly principal payments of $750.0 thousand are required through September 30, 2027 and borrowings mature on November 6, 2027. As of May 2, 2026, no prepayment was due under the terms and conditions of the Term Loan.
Notes
On November 6, 2020, Academy, Ltd., issued $400 million of 6.00% senior secured notes which are due November 15, 2027 (the “Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 6, 2020, with the subsidiary guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee and collateral agent. The Notes require cash interest payments semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year at a rate of 6.00% per year, which commenced on May 15, 2021.
