The New Loan Agreement provides for a $30 million revolver (the &#8220;New Revolver&#8221;), as well as the ability to increase the New Revolver by an additional $10 million. At closing, the Company had total borrowings of $5.5 million under the New Revolver, providing the Company with $24.5 million of availability. The term loan under the Existing Loan Agreement, which had $7.5 million outstanding, was repaid with proceeds from the New Revolver and cash on hand.</p>

Subject to the Company&#8217;s leverage ratio, the applicable margin will vary between 0.75% and 1.25% for base rate loans and 1.75% and 2.25% for LIBOR loans. In addition, the Company will be required to pay customary fees and expenses in connection with the New Loan Agreement.</p>

The Company expects to fund its business through cash provided by operations for the remainder of 2017, while continuing to reduce the facility usage. The existing facility, which had $7.5 million outstanding, was repaid with proceeds from the new revolver and cash on hand. The new revolver will bear interest at variable rates depending on the Company&#8217;s election, either at a base rate or at LIBOR, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Subject to the Company&#8217;s leverage ratio, the applicable margin will vary between 0.75% and 1.25% for base rate loans and 1.75% and 2.25% for LIBOR loans.</p>

These statements are based on management&#8217;s current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. Such forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "could," "estimate," "should," "anticipate," or "believe," or variations thereof or similar terminology. While the Company believes that its assumptions reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from management&#8217;s expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the general strength of the economy and other economic conditions affecting consumer preferences and spending; factors affecting the disposable income available to the Company's current and potential customers; changes in the unemployment rate; difficulties encountered in improving the financial and operational performance of the Company's business segments; failure to manage the Company's store labor and other store expenses; the Company&#8217;s ability to develop and successfully execute strategic initiatives; disruptions to the Company&#8217;s supply or finished goods; as well as the other risks described in the Company&#8217;s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the SEC.</font></p>
