Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreements.

On April 28, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Duluth Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, certain financial institutions as Lenders thereto (the “Lenders”), and BMO Bank N.A., Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and a Letter of Credit Issuer. The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $100 million in aggregate principal amount that are available under an asset-based revolving senior credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a $10 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.

Under the Credit Agreement, (i) each SOFR loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate per annum equal to adjusted term SOFR plus 150 basis points; (ii) each base rate loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 50 basis points; (iii) each swing line loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the applicable margin; and (iv) each other obligation will bear interest on the unpaid amount at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the applicable margin.

The proceeds will be used to refinance existing indebtedness, finance working capital and capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and distributions under the Credit Agreement and for other general corporate purposes. The Company is also permitted to voluntarily prepay the Credit Agreement in whole or in part at any time, where borrowings bearing interest based on the base rate may be prepaid at any time without penalty and borrowings bearing interest based on SOFR may be prepaid, subject to payment of usual and customary breakage and redeployment costs. The Revolver will mature on April 28, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement the Company may request an increase in the revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of up to $25 million during the term of the Credit Agreement and with the consent of the Administrative Agent, subject to credit approval of the Lenders and the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and financial, affirmative and negative covenants.

Pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2025 (the “Security Agreement”), by and among the Company and BMO Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent, the Credit Agreement is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company.

The new $100 million Revolver replaces the current revolving credit facility at a lower interest rate and extends the availability of funds to April 28, 2030. The Company believes the new Revolver will provide the Company with flexibility and liquidity to finance seasonal inventory builds.

The Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 herewith and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements.

Item 1.02

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2021, among Duluth Holdings Inc., as the borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer, the Lenders party thereto BofA Securities, Inc., as a Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, and Keybanc Capital Markets Inc., as a Joint Lead Arranger., as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of July 8, 2022, and Amendment No. 2, dated January 31, 2025, was terminated on April 28, 2025.
