On August 9, 2022, the Company executed a Credit Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with BOKF, NA (“Bank of Oklahoma” or the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement established a fixed rate Term Loan in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (the “Fixed Rate Term Loan”), a floating rate Term Loan in the principal amount of $21,000,000 (the “Floating Rate Term Loan”; together with the Fixed Rate Term Loan, collectively, the “Term Loans”), and a revolving promissory note in the principal amount up to $15,000,000 (the “Revolving Loan” or “Line of Credit”).

 

On December 22, 2022, the Company executed the First Amendment to our Loan Agreement with the Lender. This amendment clarified the definition of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to exclude dividends paid prior to November 30, 2022, and placed restrictions on acquisitions and cash dividends.

 

On May 10, 2023, the Company executed the Second Amendment to our Loan Agreement with the Lender. This amendment waived the fixed charge ratio default which occurred on February 28, 2023 and amended the financial covenant to not require the fixed charge ratio to be measured at May 31, 2023. The Second Amendment also added a cumulative maximum level of fiscal year to date inventory purchases through the expiration of the Revolving Loan Agreement, increased the borrowing rate on the Company’s Revolving Loan to Term SOFR Rate plus 3.5%, required certain swap agreements be executed within 30 days of the amendment, reduced the revolving commitment from $15,000,000 to $14,000,000, effective May 10, 2023, and further reduced the revolving commitment to $13,500,000, effective July 15, 2023, among other items.

On June 6, 2023, pursuant to its interest rate risk and risk management strategy, the Company entered into a swap transaction (the “Swap Transaction”) with the Lender, which converts a portion of the original $21,000,000 Floating Rate Term Loan from a floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for two years. The Swap Transaction had a notional amount of $18,000,000 through fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2024, and then resets to $13,000,000 through May 30, 2025, while continuing to mirror the amortizing balance of the Floating Rate Term Loan. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company, in effect, exchanged the floating interest rate of 30-Day Term SOFR Rate at the trade date of June 5, 2023, to a fixed rate of 4.73%. The Swap Transaction commenced on June 7, 2023 and terminated on May 30, 2025.

 

On August 9, 2023, the Company executed the Third Amendment along with a Revised Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with the Lender. This amendment extended the Revolving Loan maturity date to January 31, 2024 and introduced a stepdown to the Revolving Commitment from $13,500,000, through August 30, 2023; to $10,500,000 through October 30, 2023; to $9,000,000 through November 29, 2023; to $5,000,000 through December 30, 2023; to $4,500,000 through January 30, 2024; and to $4,000,000 on January 31, 2024. The amendment restricted the Company from entering into any new purchase orders and use its best efforts to cancel existing purchase orders. The Third Amendment also increased the borrowing rate on the Revolving Loan to 30-Day Term SOFR Rate + 4.50%. The Credit Agreement was updated for the changes in the Third Amendment as well as removed the fixed charge ratio and the ability for borrowings to be accelerated before the January 31, 2024 Revolving Loan maturity date.

 

On November 30, 2023, the Company executed the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. This amendment, effective December 1, 2023, increased the Revolving Loan commitment to $8,000,000 and extended the maturity date to May 31, 2024. The amendment also required the Company to list the Hilti Complex for sale, allowed the Company to execute additional purchase orders, subject to the lender’s approval and conditions, not to exceed $2,100,000 between December 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024, among other items. Proceeds from the sale of the property are to be used to pay down the borrowings with the Lender.

 

On June 13, 2024, the Company executed the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. The amendment, effective May 31, 2024, adjusts the maximum availability of the Revolving Loan commitment to $7,000,000 through the maturity date of October 4, 2024. The Amendment decreased in the Revolving Loan to $4,500,000 from the effective date of the sale of the Hilti Complex among other restrictions and requirements.

 

On October 7, 2024, the Company executed the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. The amendment, effective October 3, 2024, extended the maturity date to January 4, 2025, and decreased on the Revolving Loan to $5,500,000 by November 30, 2024.

 

On January 13, 2025, the Company executed the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. The amendment, effective January 4, 2025, decreased the maximum availability of the Revolving Loan commitment to $4,750,000 through the maturity date of April 4, 2025.

 

On April 16, 2025, the Company executed the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. The amendment, effective April 4, 2025, increased the Revolving Loan interest rate on the effective date to SOFR + 6.00%, extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to July 11, 2025, and includes a required step down on the Revolving Loan to $4,500,000 million on June 1, 2025. The amendment also changed the maturity dates of the two Term Loans to September 19, 2025.

 

On August 12, 2025, Educational Development Corporation executed the Ninth Amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement with the Lender. The Amendment, effective July 11, 2025, extends the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to September 19, 2025, increased the Revolving Loan interest rate on the effective date to SOFR + 8.00% and added a 2% deferred interest rate to the Term loans and Revolving Loan.

  (iii)   Revolving Loan allows for Letters of Credit upon bank approval (none were outstanding at August 31, 2025)
       
  (iv)   The Two Term Loans and the Revolving Loan included an additional 2% deferred interest per the 9th Amendment from July 11th, 2025 to September 19th, 2025.   Further, the Credit Agreement outlines an additional default rate of interest of 2% which would apply from September 20, 2025 until the loans under the credit agreement are repaid.

The Company’s credit agreement with its lender expired on September 19, 2025, with the balances of our Term Loans and the Revolving Loan remain unpaid.

 

On September 30, 2025, the Company received a Reservation of Rights notice from its lender outlining that events of default have occurred and are continuing due to our failure to pay in full in cash the unpaid balance of the Term Loans and Revolving Loan before the maturity date. The Lender has not waived the specified defaults and reserves all of its rights, powers, privileges and remedies under the credit agreement, the UCC, and applicable law. Under the credit agreement, the lender has the right, among other remedies listed, to demand payment or repossess and liquidate the Company’s assets used as collateral for the loans. Under the terms of the credit agreement, an additional default interest rate of 2% is added to the existing interest rates defined in the credit agreement.
