This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) of Daktronics, Inc. (the “Company,” “we”, “us” and “our”) contains both historical and forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The statements contained in this Report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions and strategies for the future. These statements appear in a number of places in this Report and include all statements that are not historical statements of fact regarding the intent, belief or current expectations with respect to, among other things: (i.) our competition; (ii.) our financing plans; (iii.) trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations; (iv.) our growth and operating strategies; (v.) the declaration and payment of dividends; (vi.) the timing and magnitude of future contracts; (vii.) raw material shortages and lead times; (viii.) fluctuations in margins; (ix.) the seasonality of our business; (x.) the introduction of new products and technology; (xi.) the amount and frequency of warranty claims; (xii.) our ability to manage the impact that new or adjusted tariffs may have on the cost of raw materials and components and our ability to sell product internationally; (xiii.) the resolution of litigation contingencies; and (xiv.) the timing and magnitude of any acquisitions or dispositions. The words “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed herein, including those discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 1, 2021 in the section entitled “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and those factors discussed in detail in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 29, 2022, we entered into a Fifth Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 16, 2016, as amended (the “Credit Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bank”). The Amendment extends the maturity date of the Credit Facility and the related Revolving Note dated as of November 16, 2016, as amended, with the Bank from November 15, 2022 to April 29, 2025 and modifies certain terms and financial covenants of the Credit Facility. The Amendment did not change the $35.0 million revolving amount of the Credit Facility, including up to $20.0 million for commercial and standby letters of credit, nor did the Amendment change the security interest held by the bank over certain assets.

As of April 29, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, and the balance of letters of credit outstanding was approximately $4.7 million.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.
