NOTE 8 – FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

On May 24, 2024, the Company and the Bank executed the Second Amended and Restated Replacement Credit Agreement with an expiration date of May 31, 2027 (the “Credit Agreement”), which was amended on October 23, 2025. The Credit Agreement has a base lending commitment amount of $35.0 million and establishes the interest rate for revolving loans at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.85%. In addition to the base commitment, the credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional commitment amount of $30.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Company may use the borrowing ability to cover other credit instruments issued by the Bank for the Company’s use in the ordinary course of business as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, on May 31, 2024, the Company entered a companion facility, in the amount of $25.0 million, pursuant to which an overseas subsidiary of the Company may cause the Bank’s European entity to issue letters of credit on its behalf that will be secured by a blanket parent company guarantee that was issued by Argan to the Bank.

As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. However, the Bank has issued a letter of credit in the outstanding amount of $0.3 million as of January 31, 2026. As of January 31, 2025, there were no outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facilities.

The Company has pledged most of its assets to secure its financing arrangements. The Bank’s consent is not required for acquisitions, divestitures, cash dividends or significant investments if certain conditions are met. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain financial covenants at its fiscal year-end and at each fiscal quarter-end. The Credit Agreement includes other terms, covenants and events of default that are customary for a credit facility of its size and nature, including a requirement to achieve positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined, over each rolling twelve-month measurement period. As of January 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants and other requirements of the Credit Agreement.
