American Woodmark Corporation

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 25, 2019, American Woodmark Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement that the Company entered into with a syndicate of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, on December 29, 2017 and previously amended on September 7, 2018 (as so amended and as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment revises the Credit Agreement’s leverage-based pricing grid to reduce the applicable margin for LIBOR rate and base rate loans and to reduce the commitment fee that is incurred quarterly on any unused portion of the revolving loan facility. The Amendment also amends the Credit Agreement’s financial covenants by (i) removing the requirement to maintain a Total Secured Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement prior to the Amendment) of no more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) setting a maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no more than 3.50 to 1.00 from the date of the Amendment through January 31, 2020 and no more than 3.25 to 1.00 thereafter. The maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio applicable prior to the Amendment was 3.75 to 1.00, which was scheduled, prior to the Amendment, to decrease to 3.50 to 1.00 beginning April 30, 2019 and to 3.25 to 1.00 beginning April 30, 2020.

Prior to the Amendment, the negative covenant under the Credit Agreement restricting the Company’s ability to make certain investments included an exception for investments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Cumulative Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) so long as the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio was less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 after giving effect to any such investment and no default or event of default had occurred and was continuing or would result from any such investment. The Amendment removes the Cumulative Credit cap from this exception such that the Company may make unlimited investments so long as the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio and absence of a default or event of default conditions noted in the prior sentence are satisfied.

Prior to the Amendment, the negative covenant under the Credit Agreement restricting the Company’s ability to make restricted payments included an exception for unlimited restricted payments so long as the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio was less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 after giving effect to any such payment and no default or event of default had occurred and was continuing or would result from any such payment. The Amendment revises this exception to increase the stated Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio to 2.75 to 1.00.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Amendment No. 2, dated as of January 25, 2019, to the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2017, among American Woodmark Corporation, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent.
