Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Tenth Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility

On July 12, 2016, World Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a tenth amendment (the “Tenth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, originally dated as of September 17, 2010 (as cumulatively amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the lenders named therein, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as successor Administrative Agent and successor Collateral Agent.

The Tenth Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Agreement to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date under the Revolving Credit Agreement from June 15, 2017 to June 15, 2018; (ii) reduce the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement from $500.0 million to $460.0 million and provide for a future reduction of the commitments to $370.0 million on March 31, 2017; (iii) add an accordion feature pursuant to which the Company may request an increase in the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement, provided that the aggregate amount of the commitments will not exceed $500 million; and (iv) increase the minimum consolidated net worth requirement from $265.0 million through June 29, 2016 to $330.0 million thereafter. In addition, pursuant to the Tenth Amendment, Capital One, National Association ceased to be a lender under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Based on our current expectations, we believe that our credit facility, amended by the Tenth Amendment, should be sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable working capital needs, and that cash flow generated by our operations and funds available under our credit facility should be sufficient to service our debt payment requirements, to satisfy our day-to-day working capital needs, and to fund our planned capital expenditures.

The foregoing description of the Tenth Amendment, including certain terms in this description which are defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 17, 2010 among the Company, the lenders named therein and Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed September 21, 2010, as initially amended by the terms of the first amendment, dated as of August 31, 2011, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed September 1, 2011, as further amended by the second amendment, dated as of May 1, 2012, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed May 1, 2012, as further amended by the third amendment, dated as of November 19, 2012, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed November 20, 2012, as further amended by the fourth amendment, dated as of September 6, 2013, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed September 9, 2013, as further amended by the fifth amendment, dated as of March 17, 2014, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed March 19, 2014, as further amended by the sixth amendment, dated as of November 18, 2014, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed November 20, 2014, as further amended by the seventh amendment, dated as of April 6, 2015, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed April 7, 2015, as further amended by the eighth amendment, dated as of May 8, 2015, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed May 8, 2015, as further amended by the ninth amendment, dated as of June 23, 2015, to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed June 24, 2015, and as further amended by the Tenth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
