Credit Agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A.

On October 28, 2021, the Company entered into a credit facility with Citizens Bank, N.A. On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement which provided for the replacement of the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) interest rate options with the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") based options (as amended, the "Credit Facility").

The Credit Facility provides for a $125.0 million secured, asset-based credit facility with a maturity date of October 28, 2026. The maximum committed borrowing of $125.0 million includes a sublimit of $20.0 million for commercial and standby letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $15.0 million for swing line loans. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets.

Effective April 20, 2023, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either a Base Rate or Daily Simple SOFR rate, at the Company's option. Base Rate loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the greater of: (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum and (c) the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus 1.00% per annum (provided the Base Rate shall never be less than the Floor (as defined in the Credit Facility)), plus (ii) a varying percentage, based on the Company’s average excess availability, of either 0.25% or 0.50% (the “Applicable Margin”). Daily Simple SOFR loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus an adjustment of 0.10% (provided the Daily Simple SOFR rate shall never be less than the Floor), plus (ii) the Applicable Margin. Any swingline loan will continue to bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Company is subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of its assets. If the Company’s availability under the Credit Facility at any time is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the Revolving Loan Cap (the lesser of the aggregate revolving commitments or the borrowing base) and (ii) $7.5 million, then the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1.0 until such time as availability has exceeded the greater of (1) 10% of the Revolving Loan Cap and (2) $7.5 million for 30 consecutive days.

At February 3, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and availability of $69.8 million under the Credit Facility. There were no borrowings under the Credit Facility during fiscal 2023, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $84.5 million. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $4.3 million and outstanding documentary letters were $1.0 million at February 3, 2024. At February 3, 2024, the Company's prime interest rate was 8.75%.

The Company paid interest and fees totaling $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $3.2 million for fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Included in the $3.2 million for fiscal 2021 was a prepayment penalty of $1.1 million associated with the prepayment of its long-term FILO loan.
