On October 27, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year, $50 million credit facility with Bank of America. The facility was amended on August 18, 2015, extending the maturity date to August 18, 2020.  On March 20, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company borrowed $43.7 million on the credit facility to enhance its liquidity position.  Such borrowings accrued interest ranging from 1.625% to 3.5%.

On May 12, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver (the “Second Amendment”) with Bank of America and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Citi Trends Marketing Solutions, Inc., as guarantor (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) as described below.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides a $50 million credit commitment and a $25 million uncommitted “accordion” feature that under certain circumstances could allow the Company to increase the size of the facility to $75 million.  The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable and related assets, but not its real estate, fixtures and equipment, and it contains one financial covenant, a fixed charge coverage ratio, which is applicable and tested only in certain circumstances. The facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.25% and permits the payment of cash dividends subject to certain limitations, including a requirement that there were no borrowings outstanding in the 30 days prior to the dividend payment and no borrowings are expected in the 30 days subsequent to the payment.

The Second Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date (which had been set to expire August 18, 2020) to August 18, 2021, increase the pricing for the loans and modify certain covenant and reporting terms. Following the effective date of the Second Amendment, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest (a) for Eurodollar Loans, at a rate equal to LIBOR plus either 2.25% or 2.5%, or (b) for Base Rate Loans, at a rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%,  or (iii) LIBOR for a period of one month plus 1.0%, plus, in each case either 1.25% or 1.5%,  based in any such case on the average daily availability for borrowings under the facility.
