Amendment No.1 to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On February 19, 2018, Stein Mart, Inc. (“Stein Mart”) and Stein Mart Buying Corporation (“Buying Corp”) (collectively “Borrowers”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated February 3, 2015, (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Administrative Agent” and “Lender”).

The Amendment provides for, among other things, an accommodation period during which the Borrowers will not be required to meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). This change will permit the Borrowers to borrow the full amount of the then applicable borrowing base until the Borrowers deliver their financial statements for the Measurement Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) ending February 28, 2018, which delivery is expected to occur on or about March 19, 2018. Pursuant to the Amendment, a Cash Dominion Event (as defined in the Amendment) has occurred as of the effective date of the Amendment and at all times thereafter. The Amendment changes the frequency for the Borrowers’ delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from monthly to weekly, with the first weekly certificate due on February 28, 2018. Also, pursuant to the Amendment, the Borrowers have agreed to allow the Administrative Agent to perform one (1) additional field exam and one (1) additional borrowing base appraisal each year at the Borrowers’ expense.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
