Summary
America's Car-Mart has reached an agreement with its lenders, amending its credit agreement to support the ongoing strategic review.

The agreement directly resolves the critical lender forbearance deadline of June 19, 2026, which the company had been managing with weekly extensions. This provides significant breathing room for the Special Committee to explore strategic and financing alternatives, alleviating immediate liquidity pressures and preventing a potential default.
