On December 12, 2023, Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the “Company”) amended its Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended to date, the “Loan Agreement”) by entering into the Eighth Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”) with D & V Electronics Ltd., Dixie Electric Ltd., and Dixie Electric Inc., as the Canadian borrowers, PNC Bank, N.A., as agent, and the financial institutions party thereto. The Eighth Amendment, among other things, (a) extends the term of the Loan Agreement to December 12, 2028, (b) amends the definition of “Applicable Margin” to provide for a pricing grid, with the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR loans ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% and the Applicable Margin for base rate loans ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, in each case based on average daily undrawn availability for the most recently completed calendar quarter, (c) amends the existing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenant to be a springing financial covenant that is only tested if undrawn availability (which may include up to $8,000,000 of suppressed availability) is less than 22.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments, and will no longer be tested if undrawn availability exceeds the foregoing threshold for thirty consecutive days, and (d) amends the definitions of Consolidated EBITDA and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and certain component definitions used therein.

The foregoing summary of the Eighth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Eighth Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference
