Item 1.01              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On February 26, 2024, Delta Apparel, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement providing for the sale and long-term leaseback of its approximately 35-acre campus in Fayetteville, North Carolina containing approximately 550,000 square feet of industrial space utilized across the Company’s various business units for manufacturing, decoration, distribution and other activities. The purchase price for the property is $23.5 million and the Company expects the contemplated transaction to provide net proceeds (after tax and transaction-related costs) of approximately $22 million.
 
The transaction is expected to close on or around May 1, 2024, with the purchaser’s obligation to close subject to inspection, due diligence and other customary closing conditions. The Company plans to continue operations at the Fayetteville, North Carolina campus uninterrupted and, as a condition to the closing of the transaction, the Company will enter into a long-term lease agreement with the purchaser anticipated to have an initial term of 10.5 years.
 
The Company intends to utilize the aggregate net proceeds realized from the transaction to repay outstanding borrowings under its asset-based revolving credit facility and generate additional liquidity within its operations.
