According to InvestingPro data, the company carries a significant debt burden of $85.73 million, making this amendment particularly significant for its financial flexibility. The amendments, signed October 21, permit the company to sell certain real property assets without requiring proceeds from those sales to be used to repay outstanding amounts under the credit agreement.
The revised agreement also removes a previous prohibition on sale and leaseback transactions. Additionally, the company increased the annual limit on asset dispositions outside the ordinary course of business from $5 million to $10 million.
As part of the amendments, Vera Bradley’s security agreement now grants a security interest in certain intellectual property of the company and its subsidiaries. The agreement also provides JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its role as administrative agent, with certain non-exclusive licenses related to this intellectual property. Vera Bradley Designs, Inc., a subsidiary, executed related security agreements as required by the amendment.
The company stated that the summary of the amendments is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the SEC filing.
