STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On February&nbsp;21, 2012, The Hackett Group, Inc. (&#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;Hackett&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (&#147;Bank
of America&#148;), pursuant to which Bank of America agreed to lend the Company up to $20 million from time to time pursuant to a revolving line of credit (the &#147;Revolver&#148;) and up to $30 million pursuant to a five-year term loan (the
&#147;Term Loan&#148;) which was used to finance the Company&#146;s $55 million tender offer for the Company&#146;s shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the &#147;Shares&#148;) in March 2012. As of August&nbsp;27, 2013, there was
approximately $15 million outstanding under the Term Loan and no amounts outstanding under the Revolver. On August&nbsp;27, 2013, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;) with Bank of America.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result of the amendments, the Credit Facility matures on August&nbsp;27, 2018, and the total amount available under the
Amended Term Loan is approximately $40 million ($15 million outstanding as of August&nbsp;27, 2013 plus up to $25 million of additional availability pursuant to the Amended Term Loan). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The $25 million in proceeds from the Amended Term Loan will be used, along with up to $10 million of cash borrowed under the Revolver and
cash on hand, for the purchase of up to $35.75 million in value of Shares in the Company&#146;s previously announced &#147;Dutch auction&#148; tender offer (the &#147;Offer&#148;) and the payment of all fees and expenses in connection with the
Offer. The additional $25 million of borrowing under the Amended Term Loan is subject to and contingent upon the successful completion of the Offer as well as the satisfaction of the other customary conditions precedent under the Credit Agreement.
In the event that the full $25 million is not borrowed under the Amended Term Loan for the purchase of Shares in the Offer, up to $10 million will remain available for borrowing under the Amended Term Loan to fund future purchases of Shares by the
Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The obligations of Hackett under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by active existing and future material U.S.
subsidiaries of Hackett (the &#147;U.S. Subsidiaries&#148;), and are secured by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of Hackett and the U.S. Subsidiaries, a 100% pledge of the capital stock of the U.S. Subsidiaries, and a
66% pledge of the capital stock of Hackett&#146;s direct foreign subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The interest
rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility will be, at Hackett&#146;s option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate for one-, two-, three- or six-month interest periods chosen by Hackett, in each case, plus an applicable
margin percentage. The applicable margin percentage is determined from time to time under the Credit Agreement based on a consolidated leverage ratio. The initial applicable margin percentage (assuming the Offer is fully subscribed and $35 million
is borrowed under the Credit Facility to pay for the Shares) is expected to be 2.0%&nbsp;per annum, in the case of LIBOR rate advances, and 1.25%&nbsp;per annum, in the case of base rate advances. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subject to certain thresholds and exceptions, Hackett will be required to prepay the loans outstanding under the Credit Facility with
(i)&nbsp;net cash proceeds from non-ordinary course sales of property and assets of Hackett or its subsidiaries and (ii)&nbsp;net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of additional debt or equity securities of Hackett or its subsidiaries
(other than issuances in connection with the Company&#146;s equity compensation plans or acquisitions). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Credit Agreement
contains customary representations, warranties, indemnities and affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, among others, certain limitations on the ability to: incur liens and indebtedness; consummate mergers, consolidations
or asset sales; make guarantees and investments; and pay dividends or distributions on or make certain distributions in respect of Shares. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require Hackett to maintain on a
consolidated basis a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 1.5 to 1.0 and a consolidated leverage ratio of less than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0, in each case as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Credit Agreement also includes certain customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to make payments when due,
insolvency, certain judgments, breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and the occurrence of certain events, including cross acceleration to other indebtedness of Hackett and its subsidiaries. </FONT></P>

Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 21, 2012, The Hackett Group, Inc. ("we," "us," "Hackett" or the "Company") entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank
of America"), pursuant to which Bank of America agreed to lend the Company up to $20 million from time to time pursuant to a revolving line of credit (the "Revolver") and up to $30 million pursuant to a five-year term loan (the
"Term Loan") which was used to finance the Company's $55 million tender offer for the Company's shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Shares") in March 2012. As of August 27, 2013, there was
approximately $15 million outstanding under the Term Loan and no amounts outstanding under the Revolver. On August 27, 2013, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America.
As a result of the amendments, the Credit Facility matures on August 27, 2018, and the total amount available under the
Amended Term Loan is approximately $40 million ($15 million outstanding as of August 27, 2013 plus up to $25 million of additional availability pursuant to the Amended Term Loan).
The $25 million in proceeds from the Amended Term Loan will be used, along with up to $10 million of cash borrowed under the Revolver and
cash on hand, for the purchase of up to $35.75 million in value of Shares in the Company's previously announced "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Offer") and the payment of all fees and expenses in connection with the
Offer. The additional $25 million of borrowing under the Amended Term Loan is subject to and contingent upon the successful completion of the Offer as well as the satisfaction of the other customary conditions precedent under the Credit Agreement.
In the event that the full $25 million is not borrowed under the Amended Term Loan for the purchase of Shares in the Offer, up to $10 million will remain available for borrowing under the Amended Term Loan to fund future purchases of Shares by the
Company.
The obligations of Hackett under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by active existing and future material U.S.
subsidiaries of Hackett (the "U.S. Subsidiaries"), and are secured by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of Hackett and the U.S. Subsidiaries, a 100% pledge of the capital stock of the U.S. Subsidiaries, and a
66% pledge of the capital stock of Hackett's direct foreign subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions).
The interest
rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility will be, at Hackett's option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate for one-, two-, three- or six-month interest periods chosen by Hackett, in each case, plus an applicable
margin percentage. The applicable margin percentage is determined from time to time under the Credit Agreement based on a consolidated leverage ratio. The initial applicable margin percentage (assuming the Offer is fully subscribed and $35 million
is borrowed under the Credit Facility to pay for the Shares) is expected to be 2.0% per annum, in the case of LIBOR rate advances, and 1.25% per annum, in the case of base rate advances.
Subject to certain thresholds and exceptions, Hackett will be required to prepay the loans outstanding under the Credit Facility with
(i) net cash proceeds from non-ordinary course sales of property and assets of Hackett or its subsidiaries and (ii) net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of additional debt or equity securities of Hackett or its subsidiaries
(other than issuances in connection with the Company's equity compensation plans or acquisitions).
The Credit Agreement
contains customary representations, warranties, indemnities and affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, among others, certain limitations on the ability to: incur liens and indebtedness; consummate mergers, consolidations
or asset sales; make guarantees and investments; and pay dividends or distributions on or make certain distributions in respect of Shares. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require Hackett to maintain on a
consolidated basis a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 1.5 to 1.0 and a consolidated leverage ratio of less than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0, in each case as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement also includes certain customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to make payments when due,
insolvency, certain judgments, breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and the occurrence of certain events, including cross acceleration to other indebtedness of Hackett and its subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement is filed as an Exhibit to this Form 8-K, and this summary is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement.
