Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 18, 2015, BlueLinx Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlueLinx Holdings Inc., reached an agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, successor by merger to Wachovia Bank, National Association and the other signatories thereto, to amend the terms of its existing Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated August 4, 2006, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). The Tenth Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement as follows:
Overall Credit Agreement:

(a) | extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to April 15, 2017;

(b) | requires the refinancing, extension or replacement of our current mortgage on or before May 1, 2016 such that the maturity date of the new mortgage facility is not sooner than July 15, 2017;

(c) | requires the repayment of not less than $35 million by May 1, 2016; and

(d) | it will be considered an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) if we do not meet the covenants described in items (b) and (c) above.

$20 million Tranche A Loan (the “Tranche A Loan”):

(a) | extends the maturity date of the Tranche A Loan to June 30, 2016, with the principal amount decreasing by $2 million each month beginning on April 1, 2016, but such step downs will not occur if, after giving effect to the applicable reduction, Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be less than $50 million or an Event of Default will exist or will have occurred and be continuing;

(b) | amends the interest rate for the Tranche A Loan to begin increasing by 25 basis points each 90 days beginning on April 1, 2015, with a maximum of 100 basis points; and

(c) | while the Tranche A Loan is outstanding, increases our fixed charge coverage ratio to 1.2 to 1.0 in certain situations.

Except as described above, all other material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged. The foregoing description of the Tenth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Tenth Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On February 19, 2015, BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (“BlueLinx” or “the Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 3, 2015. A copy of BlueLinx’ press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
On February 19, 2015, as previously announced, BlueLinx held a teleconference and audio webcast to discuss its financial results from the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 3, 2015. The webcast will be archived and can be accessed via BlueLinx’ website at www.BlueLinxCo.com. Additionally, BlueLinx has posted slides at its website, under the investor relations page, which were referenced during the audio webcast. These slides are furnished as Exhibit 99.3 hereto. All information on the slides and in the webcast is presented as of February 19, 2015, and BlueLinx does not assume any obligation to update such information in the future.
To supplement GAAP financial information, we may use adjusted measures of operating results which are non-GAAP measures. This non-GAAP adjusted financial information is provided as additional information for investors. These adjusted results exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, and we believe their exclusion can enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of our operating performance by excluding non-recurring, infrequent or other non-cash charges that are not believed to be material to the ongoing performance of our business. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of net

earnings, diluted earnings per share or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The information included in this Item 2.02, as well as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.
