Celestica Amends and Upsizes Credit Facility
21 June 2024 - 6:59AM
Celestica Inc. (TSX: CLS) (NYSE: CLS), a leader in design,
manufacturing, hardware platform and supply chain solutions for the
world’s most innovative companies, has amended its existing senior
secured credit agreement (“Existing Facility”)*, with an upsizing
of the total facility to $1.5 billion (“Amended Facility”) to
support continuing growth.
The Amended Facility consists of the following key changes to
the Existing Facility:
Revolving loan facility upsized to $750 million (the
“Revolver”)
- Increases the revolving loan
commitments from $600 million to $750 million.
- Maturity date extended from March
2025 to June 2029.
New Term A and Term B loans with a total original principal
amount of $750 million (the “Term Loans”)
- Replaces (and terminates) the two
existing term loans (aggregate of $604 million outstanding) with
(i) a new term A loan in the original principal amount of $250
million (the “Term A Loan”), with a maturity date in June 2029, and
(ii) a new term B loan in the original principal amount of $500
million (the “Term B Loan”), with a maturity date in June
2031.
- The new Term A Loan currently bears
interest at adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.75%1, and is subject to
quarterly principal repayments of $3.125 million.
- The new Term B Loan currently bears interest at Term SOFR plus
1.75%2, and is subject to quarterly principal repayments of $1.250
million.
The Term Loans were drawn in full at closing. A substantial
portion of the proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding
under the terminated term loan facilities and a portion of the
balance outstanding under the existing Revolver3, as well as
certain fees and expenses relating to the Amended Facility.
Remaining Term Loan proceeds, as well as amounts available under
the Revolver, are permitted to be used for general corporate
activities.
The Amended Facility was provided by a syndicate of lenders with
Bank of America, N.A. acting as Administrative Agent. BofA
Securities, Inc. acted as Left Lead Arranger and Left Lead
Bookrunner. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and CIBC World
Markets Corp., MUFG Bank., Canada Branch and Crédit Agricole
Corporate and Investment Bank (Canada Branch) acted as Joint Lead
Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners and Co-Syndication Agents.
All dollar amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars.
* via an amended and restated agreement
1 The Term A Loan bears interest at varying rates (as specified
in the Amended Facility), plus a margin ranging from 1.50% — 2.25%
or from 0.50% - 1.25%, in each case depending on the rate we
select and our consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in
the Amended Facility). Adjusted Term SOFR is Term SOFR + 0.10%. 2
The Term B Loan bears interest at Term SOFR plus 1.75% or the Base
Rate plus 0.75%, depending on the rate we select and our
consolidated total net leverage ratio (each as defined in the
Amended Facility).3 Under the Amended Facility, outstanding amounts
under the Revolver bear interest at varying rates (as specified
therein), plus a margin ranging from 1.50% — 2.25%, or from 0.50% —
1.25%, in each case depending on the currency of the borrowing, the
rate we select, and our consolidated total net leverage ratio (as
defined in the Amended Facility). A portion of the Term Loan
proceeds were used to repay $93 million of the aggregate amount
outstanding under the Revolver at closing. Remaining amounts
outstanding under the Revolver at closing ($40 million) were repaid
with other cash on hand. The current margin applicable to
post-closing U.S. dollar Revolver borrowings under adjusted Term
SOFR is 1.75%. Commitment fees on undrawn funds available under the
Revolver range between 0.30% to 0.45%, depending on our
consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended
Facility).
