ITEM 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 11, 2013, Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. (the “Company”), as a guarantor, and certain of its subsidiaries, Vitamin Shoppe Industries Inc. (“VS Industries”), VS Direct Inc. (“VS Direct”), Vitamin Shoppe Mariner, Inc. (“VS Mariner”) and Vitamin Shoppe Global, Inc. (“VS Global” and collectively, with VS Industries, VS Direct and VS Mariner, the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”) entered into a Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and First Amendment to Existing Guarantees (the “October 2013 Amendment”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders thereunder (the “Lenders”). As described below, the October 2013 Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2011, by and among the Company, VS Industries, VS Direct, the Lenders and the Agent (the “Loan Agreement”), as amended by the First Loan Agreement Amendment (as defined below), and also amends those certain existing guarantees (as described and referenced below).

First Amendment to Loan Agreement

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the assets of Super Supplements, Inc. for $50,000,000 in cash in February 2013, the Loan Agreement was amended on January 10, 2013 pursuant to the terms of that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Agent, the Company, VS Industries, VS Direct and VS Mariner (the “First Loan Agreement Amendment”). The First Loan Agreement Amendment removed the $25,000,000 maximum dollar limit under the definition of “Permitted Acquisitions” (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Also on January 10, 2013, VS Mariner, the subsidiary through which the Company acquired the assets of Super Supplements, Inc., executed a joinder to the Loan Agreement (the “VS Mariner Joinder”) pursuant to which it became a borrower under the Loan Agreement, and the Company, VS Industries and VS Direct entered into a Guarantee in favor of the Agent guaranteeing the obligations of VS Mariner under the Loan Agreement (the “VS Mariner Guarantee”).

Second Amendment to Loan Agreement

The October 2013 Amendment modifies certain provisions of the Loan Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the Lenders’ revolving loan commitment under the Loan Agreement by up to $80,000,000, (ii) reduce the interest rate and (iii) extend the maturity date.

As a result of the October 2013 Amendment, the Lenders’ aggregate loan commitment under the Loan Agreement increased to $90,000,000, with an option by the Borrowers to increase the commitment to an aggregate amount of $150,000,000, with such additional amount being fully committed by the Lenders.

Pursuant to the October 2013 Amendment, borrowings under the Loan Agreement will now bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at a rate per annum based on either (a) the “Alternative Base Rate” plus 0.25% or 0.50% or (b) the “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” plus 1.25% or 1.50% (each of the “Alternative Base Rate” and the “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate,” as defined in the Loan Agreement), in each case with the higher spread applicable in the event that the aggregate amount of the borrowings under the Loan Agreement exceeds 50% of the borrowing base availability under the Loan Agreement. The October 2013 Amendment also (i) increased certain of the Loan Agreement’s basket thresholds with respect to collateral covenants, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default and (ii) amended the collateral and financial reporting covenants.

Pursuant to the October 2013 Amendment, the maturity date of the revolving credit facility available under the Loan Agreement has been extended to October 11, 2018, although the Agent has the right to terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement. The Borrowers may terminate the Loan Agreement and repay any outstanding amounts at any time subject to prior notice being delivered to the Agent.

In connection with the execution of the October 2013 Amendment, the Borrowers paid a one-time non-refundable amendment fee to the Lenders equal to $360,000. The Loan Agreement’s unused line fee has been reduced to 0.25% (from 0.50%), on a per annum basis, and will be paid and calculated monthly based on the amount by which the Lenders’ aggregate elected loan commitment exceeds the average daily principal balance of outstanding borrowings.

Amendment and Restatement of Stock Pledge Agreement

Also on October 11, 2013, VS Industries, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Stock Pledge Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Stock Pledge Agreement”) with the Agent, which amended and restated the Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2009, by and between VS Industries and the Agent (the “Prior Stock Pledge Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Pledge Agreement, VSI pledged to the Agent, (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of its domestic subsidiaries, including VS Direct, VS Mariner and VS Global, and (ii) 65% of all of its voting capital stock of its foreign subsidiary, Vitapath Canada Limited, in each case subject to the terms in the Amended and Restated Stock Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

Amendment to Existing Guarantees

Additionally, the October 2013 Amendment amends (i) a prior guarantee, dated September 25, 2009, by the Company and VS Direct in favor of the Agent guaranteeing the obligations of VS Industries under the Loan Agreement (the “VS Industries Guarantee”), (ii) a prior guarantee, dated as of September 25, 2009 by the Company and VS Industries in favor of the Agent guaranteeing the obligations of VS Direct under the Loan Agreement (the “VS Direct Guarantee”) and (iii) the VS Mariner Guarantee. Such amendment incorporates a keepwell support provision for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

VS Global Joinder and Guarantee

Also on October 11, 2013, VS Global entered into a joinder to the Loan Agreement (the “VS Global Joinder”) pursuant to which it became a borrower under the Loan Agreement, and the Company, VS Industries, VS Direct and VS Mariner entered into a Guarantee in favor of the Agent guaranteeing the obligations of VS Global under the Loan Agreement (the “VS Global Guarantee”).
