Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 8, 2013, Ruth’s Hospitality Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2012, by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), the guarantors from time to time party thereto (the “Guarantors”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment increased the maximum aggregate amount of increases in the revolving loan commitments that the Company may request pursuant to the Credit Agreement from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. The Amendment also reset the limit applicable to junior stock payments, such that the Company is permitted to pay dividends on or repurchase shares of its common stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million during the period from December 31, 2012 through the termination of the Credit Agreement; no junior stock payments have yet been made during such period.

This description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
