Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 23, 2022, Viad Corp. (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”), among the Company, the other loan parties party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, which amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto from time to time.

The Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement by, among other things, (i) increasing the maximum total leverage ratio levels required following the expiration of the period during which the liquidity covenant applies, (ii) extending the period that the liquidity covenant applies until the date the Company delivers financial statements and a compliance certificate for the quarter ending September 30, 2022, (iii) extending certain restrictions contained in the negative covenants on the Company’s activities during the extended period that the liquidity covenant applies, and (iv) adding a minimum EBITDA test for the period from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. We have included the Amendment as an exhibit to this filing to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms and it is not intended to provide any other factual information about Viad Corp or any of its subsidiaries. The representations and warranties in the Amendment were made only for the purposes of the Amendment, as of a specified date, and may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Amendment are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts concerning Viad Corp or any of its subsidiaries at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that we make publicly available in reports, statements, and other documents filed with the SEC.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
