Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 29, 2011, Zumiez Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). A copy of the Credit Agreement along with the related Revolving Line of Credit Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.18 and the following summary of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior revolving credit facility through September 1, 2013 of up to $25.0 million, which, pursuant to an accordion feature, may be increased to $35.0 million at our discretion (the “New Facility”). The New Facility replaces the Company’s $25.0 million secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo, which was scheduled to terminate on September 1, 2011 (the “Prior Facility”). See Item 1.02. “Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement” below.

Amounts outstanding under the New Facility will bear interest either at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to 1% above the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Revolving Line of Credit Note) or at a fixed rate of 1% above LIBOR in effect on the first day of an applicable fixed rate term. The Company’s obligations under the New Facility are secured by a first priority lien in the Company’s accounts receivable, general intangibles, inventory and equipment. The Company must also provide financial information and statements to Wells Fargo. The New Facility contains financial covenants that require the Company to meet a certain quick ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter and to not exceed a specified net loss after taxes threshold on a trailing four-quarter basis. The New Facility also contains certain negative covenants that generally limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or enter into certain transactions.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

The disclosure provided in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02. On August 29, 2011, the Prior Facility with Wells Fargo was terminated. The Prior Facility was scheduled to expire on September 1, 2011.
