On December 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement” or the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Citizens Bank, N.A., as lender (in such capacity, the “Lender”) and as administrative agent and arranger (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), to amend and restate in its entirety that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement dated as of April 24, 2023.
The Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement is increased from $45.0 million under the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement to $65.0 million (with an accordion feature permitting the increase of the total commitment by an additional $20.0 million, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), and permits the Borrowers to request the issuance of trade and standby letters of credit thereunder. The Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement has a maturity date of December 3, 2029.
On February 20, 2026, the Company amended (Amendment 1) the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. Under Amendment 1, the total commitment is increased from a maximum limit of $65.0 million to a maximum limit of $75.0 million. The increased limit applies from February 20, 2026 through August 31, 2026. From and after September 1, 2026 through the Maturity Date of the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the total commitment shall revert to $65.0 million. All other material terms remain unchanged.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at one of two alternative rates, as selected by the Company at each incremental borrowing. These alternatives are: (i) SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), plus applicable margin or (ii) the agent bank’s prime rate generally borrowed over shorter durations. The Company also pays unused line fees based on the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility that is not drawn. Unused line fees are recorded as interest expense. The effective weighted average interest rate, including unused line fees, for the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025 was 5.7% and 6.0%, respectively.
All borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement remain collateralized with substantially all of the Company’s assets, as well as the capital stock of its subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial and non-financial covenants, such as a covenant that restricts the Company’s ability to borrow in order to pay dividends. As of April 4, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company believes that it will maintain compliance with its financial covenants for the foreseeable future.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026 were $28.8 million and $24.7 million, respectively. There were letters of credit outstanding at April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026 for $12.9 million and $13.2 million, respectively. At April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $33.3 million and $27.1 million, respectively. |
