Item 1.01 Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement

On June 11, 2020, Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a majority owned subsidiary of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a modification relating to the Operating Partnership's Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a modification relating to the Operating Partnership's Third Amended and Restated Liquidity Credit Agreement and an amendment to the Operating Partnership's Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (all such modifications and amendments, the "Amendments"), primarily to maximize future covenant flexibility. The Amendments, among other things, allow the Operating Partnership to access the existing surge leverage provision, which provides for an increase to the maximum thresholds to 65% from 60% for total leverage and unsecured leverage, for twelve months starting July 1, 2020 (the "Covenant Relief Period"). Repurchases of the Company's common shares are prohibited during the Covenant Relief Period. Additionally, the Amendments provide definitional modifications related to the calculation of certain covenants, allow for cash balances in excess of $30 million (or debt maturing in the next 24 months, if less) to be netted from total liabilities and total asset values in certain covenant calculations, and calculate certain metrics on an adjusted annualized basis for calculation periods that end during the nine month period starting October 1, 2020.
