The amended credit facility, which extends through March 2019, provides the Company with the additional liquidity and flexibility needed to execute its strategic plan to drive growth, improve profitability and deliver enhanced stockholder value.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The amended credit facility will replace the existing maintenance covenants with a single Fixed Charge Coverage test, which requires a minimum level of Availability of $50.0 million if the test is not met.
