Deckers Outdoor amends credit agreement, increases revolving facility to $500M

Deckers Outdoor Corporation and its subsidiaries have amended their credit agreement, increasing their unsecured revolving credit facility to $500 million. The amendment extends the maturity date to 27 August 2031 and removes Deckers Benelux B.V. as a borrower. The amended facility, arranged by Citibank, HSBC, and Fifth Third Bank, will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Interest rates are based on various benchmarks plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.50% per annum, depending on the company's leverage ratio. Commitment fees have been reduced to 0.10% to 0.175% per annum on unused amounts. The original credit agreement was established in December 2022 with Citibank as administrative agent.
