Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 26, 2008, Citi Trends, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a 364 day revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) in an aggregate principal amount of $35 million (of which $5 million will be available for the issuance of letters of credit) with Bank of America.  This revolving credit facility replaces the Company’s previous $3 million line of credit with Bank of America. The loans under the Credit Agreement will be available for short-term working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company.

 

The Credit Agreement is unsecured with an agreement not to pledge any of the assets of the Company and an agreement not to provide a negative pledge to any other party. Loans under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest at either (a) a rate equal to the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate, plus an applicable margin; or (b) a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is dependent on the Company’s adjusted leverage ratio and ranges from 1.00% to 1.50% for LIBOR-based loans, and from 0.00% to 0.50% for prime rate-based loans.

 

The Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default (and related remedies, including acceleration and increased interest rates following an event of default). It also contains a financial covenant tied to the Company’s adjusted leverage ratio.
