Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 14, 2018, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (the “Company”) and all of its domestic subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Borrower”) entered into an Eighteenth Amendment to Loan Documents (the “Eighteenth Amendment”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), which amends the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and the Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (the “Revolving Credit Note” and, together with the Credit Agreement, the “Loan Documents”) with U.S. Bank.

 

The Eighteenth Amendment:

 

 

decreases the interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.80% to LIBOR plus 1.25%;

 

 

extends the expiration date of the facility from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2020;

 

 

decreases the commitment fee from 0.125% per annum to 0.075% per annum based on the difference between (x) the outstanding amount on the Revolving Credit Note plus the outstanding amount of any letters of credit and (y) the total facility amount;

 

 

revises the methodology for calculating the fixed charge coverage ratio, effective as of the fiscal quarter-end testing date on or after April 30, 2019, to increase the deduction for maintenance capital expenditures from $5 million to $8 million while leaving unchanged the minimum required ratio of no less than 1.20 to 1.00;

 

 

amends the redemptions covenant to permit the Borrower to purchase, retire, redeem or otherwise acquire for value outstanding shares of its capital stock so long as during the 365-consecutive day period prior to each such redemption there is no outstanding principal balance under the revolving credit loan for at least 30 consecutive days; and

 

 

provides that operating leases will continue to be classified and accounted for consistent with the consolidated audited financial statements of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, notwithstanding any change in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board after the effective date of the Credit Agreement if such change would require treating any lease or similar arrangement as a capital lease where such lease was not required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on such effective date, unless the parties otherwise mutually agree.

 

Except as amended by the Eighteenth Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain unchanged. The Borrower currently does not have any outstanding borrowings under the Loan Documents and is in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants.

Relationship to U.S. Bank

 

The Company has or may have had customary banking relationships with U.S. Bank based on the provision of a variety of financial services, including lending, commercial banking and other advisory services.

 

The foregoing description of the Eighteenth Amendment is only a summary of material terms and conditions of such document and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Eighteenth Amendment, which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and which is incorporated by reference herein. In addition, the Company has previously filed the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, and all previous amendments thereto, which documents have been incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2017 (File No. 001-32320), filed on March 15, 2018; the foregoing description of those documents is also only a summary of certain terms and conditions therein and is qualified in its entirety to such documents as previously filed.
