Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 30, 2015, MarineMax, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") entered into an amendment to its Inventory Financing Agreement (the "Credit Facility"), originally entered into on June 24, 2010, as subsequently amended (most recently on August 29, 2014), with GE Capital Commercial Distribution Finance LLC. The October 30, 2015 amendment, among other things, increased the size of the facility by $25 million to $260 million and increased the borrowing availability against certain collateral.

The amended Credit Facility has a three-year term, expiring on October 30, 2018, subject to extension for two one-year periods, with lender approval.

Advances under the amended Credit Facility are initiated by the acquisition of eligible new and used inventory or are re-advances against eligible new and used inventory that have been partially paid-off. Advances on new inventory mature 1,080 days from the original invoice date. Advances on used inventory mature 361 days from the date the Company acquires the used inventory. Each advance is subject to a curtailment schedule, which requires that the Company pay down the balance of each advance on a periodic basis starting after six months. The curtailment schedule varies based on the type of inventory and the value of the inventory.

The collateral for the amended Credit Facility is all of the Company’s personal property with certain limited exceptions. None of the Company’s real estate has been pledged as collateral for the amended Credit Facility.

This description of the amendment to the Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the amendment which will be filed as exhibits to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.

On November 5, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the amendment to the Credit Facility. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

MARINEMAX EXPANDS FINANCING CAPACITY
~ Increases Borrowing Facility to $260 Million ~

CLEARWATER, FL – November 5, 2015 – MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE:HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, announced today that it has expanded its financing facility to provide for borrowings of up to $260 million from the previous limit of $235 million.

The expanded facility has a three-year term, expiring in October 2018, and it has two, one-year options to renew, subject to lender approval. Borrowings under the facility are secured primarily by the Company’s inventory that is financed through the facility and related accounts receivable. The Company’s real estate is not pledged. The agent of the facility is GE Capital Commercial Distribution Finance and includes M&T Bank and Bank of the West. The facility contemplates that other lenders may be added by the Company to finance other inventory not financed under this facility, if needed.

Michael H. McLamb, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of MarineMax, Inc. stated, “As we continue to drive solid revenue and earnings growth, we believe it is prudent to add to our borrowing capacity in anticipation of continued industry growth and expected strong demand for new models from our manufacturing partners. This enhanced financial flexibility will allow us to capitalize on other growth opportunities as they emerge.”
