Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 3, 2012, World of Jean & Tops, a California corporation (“World of Jeans & Tops”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Tilly’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tilly’s”), entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Amended Credit Agreement amended and restated a credit agreement dated as of May 1, 2003 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and among other things, increased the line of credit and letter of credit subfacility and extended the term of the Existing Credit Agreement. The following summary of the credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Credit Agreement and the related documents. Tilly’s expects to file copies of the Amended Credit Agreement and the related documents as exhibits to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended April 28, 2012.

General Terms

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $25 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 3, 2014. World of Jeans & Tops is the borrower under the Amended Credit Agreement. Tilly’s has guaranteed all loans made to World of Jeans & Tops under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes a $15 million subfacility for letters of credit. The indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by (i) security interests in all accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment of World of Jeans & Tops; and (ii) a security interest in all issued and outstanding equity interests of World of Jeans & Tops held by Tilly’s.

Interest Rates

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, outstanding principal amounts bear interest at a rate equal to (a) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the prime rate announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or (b) a fixed rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.75%.

Covenants

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness; limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets; and limitations on transactions with affiliates.

The Amended Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants setting forth requirements for certain levels of liquidity and profitability, such as: (i) a minimum current asset to current liability ratio of 1.25 to 1.00; (ii) a minimum net profit before tax of at least $1, excluding a non-cash expense of up to a maximum of $2 million for the write-off of impaired fixed assets for the cumulative rolling four-quarter period measured, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter on a cumulative rolling four-quarter basis; and (iii) a maximum ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 for “funded debt” to “EBITDAR”, where “funded debt” includes credit facility borrowings, capital lease debt and eight times annual operating lease rent expense, and “EBITDAR” includes net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent expense

Events of Default

Events of default under the Amended Credit Agreement include, among other things, failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts; covenant defaults; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; bankruptcy events with respect to Tilly’s or World of Jeans & Tops; actual or asserted invalidity of any of the Loan Documents (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Agreement); or a change of control of World of Jeans & Tops or Tilly’s.
