Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 26, 2018, MarineMax, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") amended and restated its Inventory Financing Agreement (the "Credit Facility"), originally entered into on June 24, 2010, as amended and restated on October 30, 2015 and as subsequently amended on June 9, 2016 and May 9, 2017, with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance LLC, and includes M&T Bank, Bank of the West, and BB&T. The October 26, 2018 amendment and restatement, among other things, increased the size of the facility by $50 million to $400 million, increased the borrowing availability against certain collateral, and extended the expiration date by one year to October 30, 2021.The amended Credit Facility has a three-year term and expires on October 30, 2021, subject to extension for two one-year periods, with lender approval.Advances under the amended and restated 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 and restated Credit Facility is primarily the Company’s inventory that is financed through the amended Credit Facility and related accounts receivable. None of the Company’s real estate has been pledged as collateral for the amended Credit Facility. The facility contemplates that other lenders may be added by the Company to finance other inventory not financed under this facility.Most of the lenders under the amended Credit Facility and their affiliates have various other relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, loans, letters of credit and bank guarantee facilities, investment banking and trust services, and some may serve as a source of retail financing for the Company’s customers. This description of the amended Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the amended Credit Facility which will be filed as exhibits to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its quarterly period ended December 31, 2018. On November 1, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the amended Credit Facility. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

To the extent that entering into the October 26, 2018 amendment and restatement constituted a termination of the Credit Facility, the information set forth above under Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

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