Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 10, 2020, Nature’s Sunshine Product, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to that loan and security agreement dated July 11, 2017 (the “Original Loan Agreement”) between the Company, as borrower, and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”).

The Amendment extends the maturity date of the Original Loan Agreement to July 1, 2023 and allows the Company to increase the credit commitment by an additional $15,000,000 (up to three instances of $5,000,000 each), subject to Bank’s internal credit approval each time. The Original Loan Agreement provides for acceleration of payment upon Events of Default (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement). The Amendment does not modify that requirement.

The Amendment also amends the interest rate of the sum of the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 225 bps, and imposes a “floor” of 75 bps. The “basket” of permitted debt increased from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000.

Among other changes to the Original Loan Agreement, the Amendment adds additional representations and covenants and allows the proceeds to be used for share repurchase programs approved by the board of directors.

The foregoing description of the Original Loan Agreement and the Amendment does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under such agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Loan Agreement and the Amendments, which are each attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 to this Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
