 ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On September 24, 2015, TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”) and its primary operating subsidiaries, as borrowers, entered into a Tenth Modification Agreement (the “Tenth Modification) with SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, amending the Credit Agreement, and related Note, for the Company's existing $35.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

Pursuant to the Tenth Modification, the term of the credit facility was extended from October 1, 2016 to October 1, 2018;  the aggregate amount of cash dividend payments allowed under the credit facility to be made in any 12-month period by the Company, assuming continued compliance with the otherwise applicable terms of the Credit Agreement, was increased from $8 million to $9 million; the definitions of “Debt Service” and  “Required Lenders” were modified; and certain financial covenants applicable to the borrowers on a going forward basis were modified.    In addition, the credit facility now contains an accordion feature that permits the lenders’ aggregate committment to be increased to a maximum of $45.0 million, subject to lenders’ discretion and other customary conditions.  The discussion of the Tenth Modification as set forth in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms and provisions of the Tenth Modification, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated fully herein by this reference.

 

Pursuant to the relevant documents, the financial covenants included in the Credit Agreement for the unsecured revolving credit facility are also applicable to the Company’s existing term loan with the same lenders. Accordingly, the Tenth Modification also has the effect of amending the financial covenants applicable to the term loan.
