Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Seventh Amendment to Guaranty Agreement

On August 26, 2022, Helen of Troy Limited (the "Company") and certain of the Company's subsidiaries entered into the Seventh Amendment to Guaranty Agreement (the "Guaranty Amendment") in favor of Bank of America, N.A. The Guaranty Amendment amends the Guaranty Agreement (as amended, the "Guaranty Agreement"), dated March 1, 2013, made by the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries in favor of Bank of America, N.A.

In connection with the Guaranty Amendment, the Company provided a Qualified Acquisition Notice (as defined in the Guaranty Agreement), which triggered temporary adjustments to the maximum Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Guaranty Agreement) as further described below. As a result of the Qualified Acquisition Notice, the maximum Leverage Ratio is 4.25 to 1.00 through May 31, 2022, 4.00 to 1.00 through February 28, 2023, 3.75 to 1.00 through May 31, 2023 and 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter. The Guaranty Agreement requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including a maximum Leverage Ratio and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Guaranty Agreement), and includes customary representations and warranties, and covenants, including, among other things, covenants restricting or limiting the Company and its subsidiaries, except under certain conditions set forth therein, from (1) incurring liens on any of their respective properties, (2) making certain types of investments, (3) incurring additional indebtedness, and (4) assigning or transferring certain licenses.

Sixth Supplemental Trust Indenture

As previously disclosed, on March 20, 2013, Kaz USA, Inc. ("Kaz USA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Loan Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2013 (the "Loan Agreement"), by and between Kaz USA and Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (the "MBFC") in connection with the issuance by MBFC of taxable industrial development revenue bonds (the "Bonds"). The Bonds were issued under a Trust Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2013 (as supplemented, the "Indenture"), by and between MBFC and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), and are payable from payments made by Kaz USA pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

On August 26, 2022, MBFC and the Trustee entered into a Sixth Supplemental Trust Indenture (the "Sixth Supplemental Indenture"), with the consent of Kaz USA and Bank of America, N.A., the purchaser of the Bonds. The Sixth Supplemental Indenture replaced the eurodollar rate with Term SOFR (as defined in the Sixth Supplemental Indenture) as the reference interest rate under the Indenture. Following the effective date of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Bonds will bear floating interest at either the Base Rate (as defined in the Indenture) or Term SOFR, plus a margin based on the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) of 0% to 1.0% and 1.0% to 2.0% for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings, respectively, plus a credit spread of 0.10% for Term SOFR borrowings.

The foregoing descriptions of the Guaranty Amendment and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Guaranty Amendment that is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture that is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
