ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On November 15, 2019, Schuh Limited, a subsidiary of Genesco Inc., and other Borrowers and Guarantors party thereto, entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “2019 Restatement Agreement”) with Lloyds Bank plc (“Lloyds”) as Agent, Arranger and Security Trustee, which amended and restated the Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated April 26, 2017. Schuh Limited replaced Schuh Group Limited as Parent under the 2019 Restatement Agreement. Additionally, Genesco Schuh GmbH, Schuh Group Limited and Schuh (Holdings) Limited were released as Borrowers. The 2019 Restatement Agreement contains certain covenants at the Schuh Limited level, including a minimum interest coverage covenant of 4.50x and a maximum leverage covenant of 1.75x. The 2019 Restatement Agreement is secured by a pledge of all the assets of Schuh Limited and Schuh (ROI) Limited. Pursuant to a Guarantee in favor of Lloyds, Genesco Inc. has guaranteed the obligations of Schuh Limited under the 2019 Restatement Agreement on an unsecured basis.

The 2019 Restatement Agreement includes a Facility B of £6.25 million, a Facility C revolving credit agreement of £19.0 million, a working capital facility of £2.5 million and an additional revolving credit facility, and a Facility D of €7.2 million for its operations in Ireland. The Facility B loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum with quarterly payments through January 2020. The Facility C has an outstanding balance of £7.0 million, bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.2% per annum and expires in January 2020. The Facility D bears interest at EURIBOR plus 2.2% per annum and expires in January 2020. Following certain customary events of default, payment of the facilities may be accelerated or the commitments may be terminated.

The foregoing description of the 2019 Restatement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the 2019 Restatement Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
