~~SIGNATURE~~Prior to termination, the Facility Agreement provided for up to an aggregate of £115.0 million of borrowings thereunder and was otherwise scheduled to mature on the earlier of (i) the maturity date on which the 11% Senior Secured ABL DIP Notes (the “Taj DIP Notes”) issued by TRU Taj LLC and TRU Taj Finance, Inc. (collectively, the “Issuers”) and (ii) January 18, 2019. The Facility Agreement was primarily utilized by the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries and was terminated in order to facilitate the administration or other proceeding of certain U.K. subsidiaries of the Company under the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986. The Company is currently in discussions with certain holders of the Taj DIP Notes to provide the Company’s European and Australian subsidiaries with up to $50 million of liquidity through the release of escrowed net proceeds from the original issuance of the Taj DIP Notes. The Company expects these funds will provide it with supplemental liquidity in light of the termination of the borrowing commitments under the Facility Agreement.

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On February 27, 2018, as part of the overall restructuring plan of the Company, Toys “R” Us Limited and certain of its U.K. affiliates constituting the U.K. business (the “U.K. Subsidiaries”), commenced an administration under the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 (the “Administration”). Pursuant to the Administration, the U.K. Subsidiaries will begin winding down business operations in the United Kingdom.

The Company received waivers relating to any events of defaults that may arise under the TAJ DIP Notes and the 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “TAJ Prepetition Notes”) in connection with the Administration and related initiatives (the “Waivers”) from certain holders of the TAJ DIP Notes and the Taj Prepetition Notes. The Waivers will terminate on March 15, 2018 in the event that the Company and certain holders of the TAJ DIP Notes and the TAJ Prepetition Notes are unable to agree on a restructuring support agreement relating to the reorganization of the Issuers. The Company is currently in discussions with certain holders of the Taj DIP Notes to extend or otherwise eliminate this termination deadline.
