	On May 4, 2022, Covenant Logistics Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and substantially all of its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a Joinder, Supplement and Nineteenth Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Nineteenth Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the “Agent”) and lender, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender, which amended that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated September 23, 2008, by and among the Company, substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the Agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Among other changes, the Nineteenth Amendment: (i) extended the maturity date from October 23, 2025 to May 4, 2027; (ii) increased the maximum amount that eligible rolling stock can contribute to the borrowing base from $45 million to $65 million; (iii) increased the borrowing “accordion” feature, pursuant to which the Company can request and, at the lenders’ discretion, obtain an increase in the revolving credit facility commitments from an incremental $50 million to an incremental $75 million; (iv) removed LIBOR as one of the reference rates on which the interest rate can be calculated and replaced it with the secured overnight financing rate or “SOFR,” plus a SOFR related increase of 10 to 25 basis points depending on the term of SOFR selected by the Company; (v) removed real estate and certain rolling stock that is not designated by the Company as being included in the borrowing base from the Agent’s collateral package; and (vi) added AAT Carriers, Inc. as a borrower and pledger of its assets under the Credit Agreement. The Nineteenth Amendment also modified certain restrictions and minimum borrowing availability requirements to provide increased flexibility to finance and dispose of real estate and rolling stock and to engage in stock repurchases, dividends, acquisitions, and investments. The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Nineteenth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Nineteenth Amendment, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2022.
