Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 12, 2015, Hampshire Group, Limited (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a letter agreement dated February 11, 2014 with Salus Capital Partners, LLC (“Salus”), to temporarily increase availability under the revolving credit facility of the Credit Agreement with Salus by $2.0 million until the earlier of (i) April 11, 2015, or (ii) the date of Borrowers’ receipt of the proceeds of a capital raise of at least $2.0 million (provided, that in the event that the capital raise yields net proceeds to the Borrowers of less than $2.0 million, the temporary availability will, at such time be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the net proceeds of such capital raise received by Borrowers). Under the Credit Agreement with Salus, available borrowings under the revolving credit facility are limited to a borrowing base, generally consisting of specified percentages of inventory and trade receivables, less the total of availability reserves established under the credit facility, less a $3.5 million availability block. The temporary availability is effected by reducing the availability block from $3.5 million to $1.5 million. In any event, the availability block will be returned to $3.5 million on April 11, 2015.

 

The foregoing summary of the letter agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the letter agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
