Item 1.01         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On August 23, 2022, Superior Group of Companies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”), pursuant to which the Lenders are providing the Company senior secured credit facilities consisting of a revolving credit facility in the aggregate maximum principal amount of $125 million and a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”), and the ability to request incremental revolving credit or term loan facilities in an aggregate amount of up to an additional $75 million, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and satisfying certain other conditions. The Credit Facilities will accrue interest at a variable rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% (depending on the applicable interest period) plus a margin of between 1.0% and 2.0% (depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio). The Company’s net leverage ratio is generally calculated as the ratio of (a) indebtedness minus unrestricted cash to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters. During the term of the revolving credit facility, the Company will pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to between 0.125% and 0.250% (depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio). The Credit Facilities have a term of five years.
 
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, restricted payments (including dividends and related distributions), liquidations, mergers, consolidations or acquisitions, affiliate transactions and sales of assets or subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0 and a net leverage ratio not to exceed 4.0 to 1.0. The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the operating assets of the Company as collateral, and the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by all of its domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Credit Agreement.
 
The proceeds of the Credit Facilities were used in part to refinance the Company’s existing indebtedness with Truist Bank under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 8, 2021 between the Company and Truist Bank (the “Truist Credit Agreement”).
 
Item 1.02         Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On August 23, 2022, in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement as disclosed in Item 1.01, the Company terminated the Truist Credit Agreement, and the indebtedness thereunder (consisting of a revolving line of credit in a maximum principal amount of $125 million (approximately $118.5 million outstanding balance) plus term loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $45.5 million as of such date) was repaid in full. The Company did not incur any termination penalties in connection with the early termination of the Truist Credit Agreement.
 
A description of the material terms and conditions of the Truist Credit Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2021.
