Mercury Systems Expands Revolving Credit Facility, Retires Term Loan A
June 27 2017 - 4:01PM
Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRCY) (www.mrcy.com) announced that
it has amended its existing revolving credit facility (“Revolving
Credit Facility”), increasing and extending the facility into a
$400 million, 5-year revolver expiring in June 2022. In connection
with the amendment, Mercury also repaid the remaining principal on
its existing term loan using cash on hand. The Revolving Credit
Facility remained undrawn at the closing of the refinancing, other
than for outstanding letters of credit.
“We are very pleased with the success of this transaction,” said
Gerry Haines, Chief Financial Officer of Mercury Systems. “The
upsized Revolving Credit Facility provides us with increased
borrowing capacity, on improved terms including a lower cost of
capital. It also provides us with much greater agility and
flexibility, supporting our ongoing efforts to drive growth through
a combination of organic investment and additional business
acquisitions. We appreciate the strong financial support from our
banking partners.”
Additional information regarding the terms of the amended senior
secured credit facility are contained in Mercury’s Form 8-K filed
today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
