Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 2, 2011, America’s Car-Mart, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries, Colonial Auto Finance, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (“Colonial”), America’s Car Mart, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (“ACM”), and Texas Car-Mart, Inc., a Texas corporation (“TCM”), entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”), dated November 4, 2010, among the Company, ACM, TCM and a group of lenders including Bank of Arkansas, N.A., Bank of America N.A., Arvest Bank and Commerce Bank, N.A.

Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (the “Amendment”) amends the definition of “permitted distributions” to exclude the first $20.0 million in stock repurchases by the Company from our shareholders consummated prior to April 30, 2012 for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 (the “2011-2012 Treasury Stock Transactions”), from the limitations placed on distributions we may make in connection with stock repurchases.  However, this exclusion may be eliminated at any time by the lenders, and the aggregate amount of stock repurchases during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 may not exceed $40.0 million without the consent of the lenders.  The Amendment also amends the financial covenant calculations as follows 1) the distribution fixed charge coverage ratio shall exclude the total amount of stock repurchases pursuant to the 2011-2012 Treasury Stock Transactions from the calculation and 2) the minimum adjusted tangible net worth to provide that the total amount of stock repurchases pursuant to the 2011-2012 Treasury Stock Transactions will be deducted from the calculation of minimum adjusted tangible net worth.

The Agreement was previously amended on January 12, 2011 to change the base interest rate as provided in the Agreement from a prime rate set by BOK Financial Corporation to the higher of (1) the “National Prime Rate” as published by the Wall Street Journal or (2) the overnight cost of federal funds as announced by the U.S. Federal Reserve System plus .50%.  Amendment No. 1 has not had and is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company.

The descriptions above are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 to the Agreement, which are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
