Revolving Credit Agreement – United States On June 12, 2025, Culp, Inc., as borrower (the “Company”), and Read and Culp Fabrics Global, LLC, each a wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, as guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors”), entered into a Third Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Lender”). The Third Amendment amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 19, 2023, (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). Proceeds from the ABL Facility may be used to pay fees and expenses related to the ABL Facility and to provide funding for ongoing working capital and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement amended, restated and superseded, and served as a replacement for, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2022, as amended, by and between the Company and the Lender. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the term of the ABL Facility was extended for three years and now matures on June 12, 2028. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the ABL Facility contains the following terms: The ABL Facility may be used for revolving credit loans and letters of credit from time to time up to a maximum principal amount of $30.0 million, which may be increased upon mutual agreement by up to $10.0 million via an accordion feature, subject to the limitations described below. The Company may issue letters of credit under a sub-facility within the ABL Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2 million. The amount available unde r the ABL Facility is limited by a borrowing base consisting of certain eligible accounts receivable and inventory, reduced by specified reserves, as follows: • 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus • the least of: i) the sum of: o lesser of (i) 65% of eligible inventory valued at cost based on a first-in first-out basis (net of intercompany profits) and (ii) 85% of the net-orderly-liquidation value percentage of eligible inventory, plus o the least of (i) 65% of eligible in-transit inventory valued at cost based on a first-in first-out basis (net of intercompany profits), (ii) 85% of the net-orderly-liquidation value percentage of eligible in-transit inventory, and (iii) $4.0 million, plus o the lesser of (i) 65% of eligible raw material inventory valued at cost based on a first-in first-out basis (net of intercompany profits) and (ii) 85% of the net-orderly-liquidation value percentage of eligible raw material inventory In each case, the net-orderly-liquidation value is calculated based on the lower of (i) a first-in first-out basis and (ii) market value, and is (A) net of intercompany profits, (B) net of write-ups and write-downs in value with respect to currency exchange rates and (C) consistent with most recent appraisals received and acceptable to Lender. ii) $20.0 million; and iii) An amount equal to 200% of eligible accounts receivable. • minus applicable reserves. The ABL Facility permits both base rate borrowings and borrowings that bear interest at annual rate equal to daily simple SOFR (the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or its successor)), in each case, plus an Applicable Margin equal to: (i) 75 basis points for base rate borrowings and 175 basis points for SOFR-based borrowings (if the average monthly excess availability under the ABL Facility is greater than 66 2/3%), (ii) 100 basis points for base rate borrowings and 200 basis points for SOFR-based borrowings (if the average monthly excess availability under the ABL Facility is less than or equal to 66 2/3% and greater than 33 1/3%), or (iii) 125 basis points for base rate borrowings and 225 basis points for SOFR-based borrowings (if the average monthly excess availability under the ABL Facility is less than or equal to 33 1/3%), as applicable, with a fee on unutilized commitments at an annual rate of 37.5 basis points (if usage is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum credit available under the ABL Facility) or 50 basis points (if usage is less than 50% of the maximum credit available under the ABL Facility). Outstanding balances associated with the ABL Facility may be prepaid from time to time, in whole or in part, without a prepayment penalty or premium. In addition, customary mandatory prepayments of the loans under the ABL Facility are required upon the occurrence of certain events including, without limitation, outstanding borrowing exposures exceeding the borrowing base and certain dispositions of assets outside of the ordinary course of business. Accrued interest is payable monthly in arrears. The Company’s obligations under the ABL Facility (and certain related obligations) are: (a) guaranteed by the Guarantors and each of the company’s future domestic subsidiaries is required to guarantee the ABL Facility on a senior secured basis (such guarantors and the company, the “Loan Parties”) and (b) secured by all assets of the Loan Parties, subject to certain exceptions. The liens and other security interests granted by the Loan Parties on the collateral for the benefit of the Lender under the ABL Facility are, subject to certain permitted liens, first-priority. Cash Dominion. Under the terms of the ABL Facility, if: (i) an event of default has occurred or (ii) excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility (based on the lesser of $30.0 million and the borrowing base) (the "Excess Availability") falls below 6.0 million at such time, the Loan Parties will become subject to cash dominion, which will require prepayment of loans under the ABL Facility with the cash deposited in certain deposit accounts of the Loan Parties, including a concentration account, and will restrict the Loan Parties' ability to transfer cash from their concentration account. Such cash dominion period (a "Dominion Period') shall end when Excess Availability shall be equal to or greater than $6.0 million for a period of 60 consecutive days and no event of default is continuing. Financial Covenants. The ABL Facility contains a springing covenant requiring that the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio be no less than 1.10 to 1.00 during any period that: (i) an event of default has occurred or (ii) Excess Availability under the ABL Facility falls below $4.5 million at such time. Such compliance period shall end when Excess Availability shall be equal to or greater than $4.5 million for a period of 60 consecutive days and no event of default is continuing. Affirmative and Restrictive Covenants. The Credit Agreement governing the ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (subject, in each case, to exceptions and qualifications) and events of defaults, including covenants that limit the company's ability to, among other things: • incur additional indebtedness; • make investments; • pay dividends and make other restricted payments; • sell certain assets; • create liens; • consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the company's assets; and • enter into transactions with affiliates The applicable interest rate under the ABL Facility was 5.78% and 6.81% as of April 27, 2025, and April 28, 2024, respectively.
