Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 30, 2023, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2021 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Chuy’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time and the Administrative Agent.
The Amendment replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) interest rate with an Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) interest rate, which equals (a) a Term SOFR interest rate plus (b)(1) 0.11448% for a one-month interest period, (2) 0.26161% for a three-month interest period or (3) 0.42826% for a six-month interest period. If the Company elects to pay interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR, loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR plus an appliable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.0% depending on the Company’s consolidated total lease adjusted leverage ratio, which was the same applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans under the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
