Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On October 14, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with the other borrowers party thereto, A.K.A. Brands Intermediate Holding Corp., as Holdings, Keybank National Association, as administrative agent, collateral agent, security trustee and lead arranger, and the other persons party thereto from time to time, which amends and restates in its entirety the Syndicated Facility Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2021 (as amended, restated, increased, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Senior Secured Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) establish revolving credit facility commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $35.3 million, (ii) establish term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $85.0 million, (iii) adjust the pricing stepdowns related to the interest rate and (iv) resize baskets within certain negative covenants based on a Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of $35.2 million.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement extends the maturity date of the revolving credit facility commitments and the term loans to October 14, 2028. The Company is required to make mandatory amortization payments in respect of the term loans in an amount equal to (a) commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2025 and until the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2027, a principal amount of term loans equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of term loans made on the date of the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, multiplied by 1.875% and (b) commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2028, a principal amount of term loans equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of term loans made on the date of the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, multiplied by 2.50%. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement accrue interest at Term SOFR plus an applicable margin dependent upon the Company’s net leverage ratio, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The highest interest rate under the agreement occurs at a net leverage ratio of greater than 2.75x, yielding an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 3.75%.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, each tested as of the last day of every fiscal quarter. Specifically, the Company must maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.35 to 1.00 for 2025 and 2026, 3.25 to 1.00 and 1.50 to 1.00 for 2027, and 3.00 to 1.00 and 1.75 to 1.00 for 2028, respectively. The agreement also includes a capital expenditure covenant limiting growth-related capital expenditures for new store development to $17.5 million for the period from October 14, 2025, through the first anniversary of that date, with annual limits of $20.0 million and $22.5 million in subsequent years. If the Company does not comply with these financial covenants, it may, subject to certain conditions and limitations, make direct or indirect equity contributions to cure such non-compliance. Additionally, the Company is required to make a mandatory prepayment of a portion of excess cash flow, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, based on its net leverage ratio. A prepayment of 50% of excess cash flow is required if the net leverage ratio exceeds 2.0x, which is reduced to 25% if the ratio is less than or equal to 2.0x, and no prepayment is required if the ratio is less than or equal to 1.0x. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.
As of March 31, 2026, the all-in rate (Term SOFR plus the applicable margin) for the Company’s term loan and borrowings under the revolving line of credit was 7.18%.
