On August 23, 2017, Ulta Beauty, Inc., Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. and certain of their subsidiaries (collectively, the “Ulta Parties”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and a Lender thereunder, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent and a Lender, PNC Bank, National Association, as Documentation Agent and a Lender, and the other Lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Loan Agreement amended and restated the existing Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2011, as amended. The Loan Agreement extends the maturity of the facility to August 23, 2022, provides maximum revolving loans equal to the lesser of $400 million or a percentage of eligible owned inventory (which borrowing base may, at the election of the Ulta Parties and satisfaction of certain condition, include a percentage of eligible owned accounts and qualified cash), contains a $20 million subfacility for letters of credit and allows the Ulta Parties to increase the revolving facility by an additional $50 million, subject to the consent by each lender and other conditions. The Loan Agreement contains a requirement to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 during such periods when availability under the Loan Agreement falls below a specified threshold. Substantially all of the Ulta Parties’ assets are pledged as collateral for outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement. Outstanding borrowings will bear interest, at the Ulta Parties election, at either a base rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.25%, and the unused line fee is 0.20% per annum.

The description above is a summary of the Loan Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
