Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 18, 2020, Transcat, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement Amendment 2 (“Amendment Two”) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company that amended the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement dated as of October 30, 2017, as amended pursuant to Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement Amendment 1 dated as of December 10, 2018 (collectively, the “Credit Facility Agreement”). Amendment Two extended the term of the Revolving Credit Facility to October 20, 2022 and increased the Revolving Credit Commitment to $40 million.

Amendment Two modified the definition of Applicable Rate used to determine interest charges on outstanding and unused borrowings under the revolving credit facility and it amended the definition of Permitted Acquisitions to amend borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility for Acquisitions. In addition, Amendment Two amended the definition of Restricted Payments to exclude amounts up to $2.5 million during each fiscal year used to pay certain tax obligations and added certain restrictions to the Company’s ability to repurchase its shares and pay dividends. Amendment Two modified the Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants with which the Company is required to comply and limited Capital Expenditures to $5.5 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Amendment Two also established a LIBOR floor of 1% and included a mechanism for adoption of a different benchmark rate in the event LIBOR is discontinued.

All other material terms and conditions of the Credit Facility Agreement remain unchanged. Terms used herein and otherwise not defined have the meanings given them in the Credit Facility Agreement.

The foregoing summary of Amendment Two does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment Two intended to be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 27, 2020.
