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

(a) On September 8, 2014, Christopher & Banks Corporation (the "Company") and its two subsidiaries, Christopher & Banks, Inc. and Christopher & Banks Company (collectively with the Company, the "Borrowers"), entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its existing credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") as Lender. (Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning provided for in the Amendment or the Credit Facility.)

The Amendment, among other changes, (i) extended the term of the Credit Facility to September 8, 2019; (ii) reduced the rates at which borrowings will generally accrue interest and reduced the commitment fee rate; (iii) modified the calculation of the Borrowing Base to provide for potential additional capacity; the Borrowing Base serves as a limit on the overall amount of revolving loans and letters of credit that may be outstanding at any one time under the Credit Facility; (iv) excluded from the limitation on store closings the consolidation of Christopher & Banks stores and CJ Banks stores into MPW stores; and (v) modified the definition of Payment Conditions.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
