Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on December 7, 2017, Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter of consent (the “Consent”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), the lender under the Company’s current revolving credit facility, pursuant to which Wells Fargo consented to, and waived any events of default relating to the Company’s entry into the asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to sell substantially all of its assets (the “Asset Sale”) to Churchill Downs LLC (“Buyer”).

Pursuan t to the terms of the Consent, the Company’s borrowing capacity under its existing revolving credit facility has been limited to $2 million (including the amount of any letters of credit) until February 28, 2018. The Consent also provided, among other things, that a failure to close the Asset Sale as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement on or prior to February 28, 2018 constitutes an additional “event of default” under the Company’s credit facility.

On February 23, 2018, the Company and Wells Fargo entered into an additional consent letter pursuant to which Wells Fargo agrees to extend the period of time to close the Asset Sale and the $2 million limit on borrowing capacity until March 15, 2018 and provides that failure to close the Asset Sale on or prior to March 15, 2018 constitutes an additional “event of default” under the Company’s credit agreement.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

During February 2018 , the Company, Inc. completed the sale of additional slow-moving inventory. The sale price for this inventory was less than the cost for this inventory and, as a result, the Company expects to record approximately $0.8 million in additional charges for obsolete and slow moving inventory in the fourth quarter of 2017. As a result, the Company now expects to report a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2017 of approximately $7.5 million rather than the previously expected net loss $6.7 million announced on January 23, 2018.
