Premier Technical Services Group PLC
("PTSG" or the "Group")
New banking facilities agreed with HSBC PLC ("HSBC")
£7,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") and £2,500,000 overdraft facility
PTSG, the niche specialist services provider, is pleased to announce that it has entered into new banking facilities with HSBC.
The RCF is a committed £7.0m five year facility, which expires in September 2020 and replaces the Group's existing term loan which was due to expire in September 2018.
Both new facilities are provided at a lower interest rate than the facilities being refinanced and covenant testing has been improved. Drawn amounts under RCF attract a variable margin over LIBOR, based on the Group's Net Debt/EBITDA ratio. Undrawn amounts attract a commitment fee.
Paul Teasdale, CEO of PTSG, said:
"The new banking facilities strengthen our financial position, extend the Group's debt maturities and refinance our existing Term Loan of £3m. The RCF will help underpin our strategy to generate significant shareholder value through organic growth and complementary acquisitions, whilst the increased overdraft facility from £1.25m to £2.5m gives PTSG greater working capital flexibility, as the business grows.
"We are delighted to continue working with HSBC and the terms of the new facilities reflect the bank's ongoing confidence in the Group's strategic prospects and credit quality."
