# Atlantic American Corporation: Credit Agreement Amendments Summary

Atlantic American Corporation (NASDAQ: AAME) disclosed in an October 16, 2026 Form 8-K that it executed back-to-back amendments to its Revolving Credit Agreement with Truist Bank within a six-day span. The Fourth Amendment (October 9) and Fifth Amendment (October 15) extended the delivery deadline for its overdue FY 2025 audited financial statements to October 23, 2026, set a November 30, 2026 deadline for interim Q1–Q3 2026 statements, lowered the minimum AM Best Financial Strength Rating requirement for subsidiary American Southern Insurance Company to "A-", and retroactively waived covenant defaults triggered by the prior downgrade.

Rather than a "proactive" compliance strategy, these successive amendments reflect last-minute triage to avert an immediate event of default and credit acceleration under a tight eight-day window. While the waivers provide temporary breathing room with its lender, they do not resolve Atlantic American's delinquent SEC filings or eliminate ongoing Nasdaq delisting risks, leaving the company under severe pressure until full financial reporting compliance is restored.
