The retailer will have immediate access of $250m and an additional $150m as needed after 4 September.
Last month, it received interim approval for $275m as part of the first day motions related to voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings.
Neiman Marcus Group chairman and chief executive officer Geoffroy van Raemdonck said: “With the approval from the Court to fully access the significant DIP financing we have secured from our creditors, we are well-positioned to continue to serve our customers and global luxury brand partners.
“This financing provides us with ample liquidity to ensure business continuity as we gradually reopen our stores, invest in Fall inventory, and fund the expansion of our digital offerings as we continue our journey to become the preeminent luxury customer platform. Importantly, we remain on track to emerge from this process in Fall 2020.”
