Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Third Amendment to Credit Agreement

On August 21, 2024, SMART Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2022 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company and SMART Modular Technologies, Inc., as co-borrowers, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.

The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is subject to springing maturity provisions based on the maturity of the Company’s 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). Prior to the Amendment, the maturity date would be brought forward to (x) the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes and (y) the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity date of certain promissory notes issued to Cree, Inc. (the “Cree Notes”), if the 2026 Notes and/or the Cree Notes, as applicable, had not been repurchased, repaid, retired and/or redeemed and discharged in full on such respective date. The Amendment amends the springing maturity provisions to remove the Cree Notes (which were previously paid in full by the Company) and to bring forward the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity of the 2026 Notes only if, on such date, an aggregate principal amount greater than $20,000,000 of such 2026 Notes remains outstanding. As of the date hereof, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2026 Notes is less than $20,000,000.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending August 30, 2024.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K regarding the Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
