MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Christopher & Banks Corporation (NYSE: CBK), a specialty women's apparel retailer, today announced it has extended, on substantially the same terms, its current senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Amended Credit Facility") in the amount of up to $50 million with Wells Fargo Capital Finance (“Wells”), part of Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC). The Amended Credit Facility provides committed revolving funding through August 3, 2023, as the prior facility was scheduled to expire in September 2019. The Amended Credit Facility includes an additional $5 million FILO (“first-in, last out”) tranche.

Keri L. Jones, President & Chief Executive Officer of Christopher & Banks, commented, "We are very pleased to have extended our credit facility through 2023. We also very much appreciate the support we received from Wells and value their business relationship. Although we do not have any outstanding borrowings under this facility, the available funds will provide additional support for us as we execute on our operating and strategic plans.”

The amount of credit that is available under the Amended Credit Facility is determined as a percentage of the value of eligible inventory and credit card receivables as reduced by certain reserves, all as more fully described in the Amended Credit Facility. The funds from the Amended Credit Facility may be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes.

Additional information regarding the Amended Credit Facility will be available in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior to August 9, 2018.
