The Hallwood Group Incorporated (the "Company") (NYSE MKT: HWG) operates as a holding company. The Company operates its principal business in the textile products industry through its wholly owned subsidiary, Brookwood Companies Incorporated ("Brookwood"). As previously disclosed on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, Brookwood and its subsidiaries entered into a loan agreement on March 30, 2012 by and among Brookwood, its subsidiaries and Branch Banking and Trust Company ("BB&T") (the "New Revolving Credit Facility").

On August 24, 2012, the New Revolving Credit Facility was amended to (i) modify the funded debt to EBITDA loan covenant to 4.00 to 1.00 from its previous requirement of 2.75 to 1.00, providing greater borrowing capacity for Brookwood,
(ii) modify the covenant regarding declaration or payment of discretionary and other dividends by Brookwood to the Company, and (iii) modify the pricing grid for the applicable margin with respect to the LIBOR interest rate and unused line fees. Brookwood paid a fee of $31,250, or 12.5 basis points, to BB&T in consideration for the amendment. A copy of the amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The New Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, requires Brookwood to satisfy certain financial covenants on the last day of each fiscal quarter, including maintaining:

(i) a ratio of total current assets to the sum of total current liabilities and the outstanding loan balance of not less than 1.40 to 1.00.

(ii) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.50 to 1.00. Tangible net worth is defined as net worth, plus obligations contractually subordinated to debts owed to BB&T, minus goodwill, contract rights, and assets representing claims on stockholders or affiliated entities.

(iii) a ratio of funded debt (as defined in the New Revolving Credit Facility) to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the trailing four quarters of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00.

Brookwood was in compliance with such financial covenants at June 30, 2012 both before and after the amendment described herein.

Section 6.06 of the New Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

"6.06. Dividends or Distributions; Acquisition of Capital Stock or Other Ownership Interests. Declare or pay any dividends or distributions of any kind, or purchase or redeem, retire, or otherwise acquire any of the Borrowers' capital stock or other ownership interests, now or hereafter outstanding, provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from any such payment, the Borrowers may pay to The Hallwood Group Incorporated (a) periodic payments for tax sharing obligations,
(b) discretionary dividends in an aggregate amount not to exceed 50% of Borrowers' net income for the fiscal year with respect to which such dividends are made, and (c) other dividends or distributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 (of which, as of August 24, 2012, it is agreed, $8,000,000 has been previously disbursed)."

The interest rate payable on the New Revolving Credit Facility is dependent on a leverage ratio, as defined, and can vary from LIBOR plus 1.00% to 3.50%. The pricing grid set forth in Section 10.01 of the New Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated to include higher levels of Funded Debt to EBITDA and read as follows:

"Pricing Grid" shall mean the following grid setting forth by Tier, the applicable margin with respect to the LIBOR interest rate and unused line fees:

                                                  Applicable       Unused
            Tier   Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio      Margin           Fee
            I               <1.0 : 1.0                   1.00 %       0.10 %
            II      ³1.0 : 1.0, but <1.5 : 1.0           1.25 %       0.15 %
            III     ³1.5 : 1.0, but <2.0 : 1.0           1.50 %       0.20 %
            IV     ³2.0 : 1.0, but <2.75 : 1.0           2.00 %       0.25 %
            V      ³2.75 : 1.0, but <3.25 : 1.0          2.50 %       0.25 %
            VI             ³3.25 : 1.0                   3.50 %       0.25 %

Also, as previously disclosed, the Company borrowed from Hallwood Family (BVI) L.P., a limited partnership associated with Mr. Anthony J. Gumbiner, the Company's chairman and principal stockholder, the sum of $10,000,000 (the "HFL Loan"). The HFL Loan is secured by a pledge of all of the stock of Brookwood. In connection with the HFL Loan, a Pledge and Security Agreement and a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement ("Intercreditor Agreement") were entered into and effective May 9, 2012. The Intercreditor Agreement, among other things, subordinates any security interest or lien that Hallwood Family (BVI) L.P. may have in certain assets of the Company, including the stock of Brookwood, to BB&T. A copy of the Intercreditor Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
