Emergent BioSolutions Announces Closing of $100 Million Asset-Backed Loan Facility
October 02 2024 - 6:30AM
Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) announced today that it
entered into a new credit agreement on September 30, 2024 providing
for an asset-based revolving loan facility (ABL) with the lenders
party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
administrative agent. The credit agreement provides for revolving
loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount up to $100
million (availability is based on a borrowing base set forth
therein) with a fixed maturity date of September 30, 2029, subject
to early maturity triggers based on the maturity of its other
material indebtedness. The new credit facility brings additional
liquidity to support Emergent’s multi-year transformation plan. As
of September 30, 2024, Emergent had a cash balance of approximately
$150 million and undrawn access to $100 million under the ABL.
“We are pleased to have successfully closed on our new ABL
credit facility with favorable terms and an extended maturity,
which is further evidence of Emergent’s strengthened balance sheet
and financial position,” said Joe Papa, president and CEO,
Emergent. “As we continue to execute on our multi-year
transformation plan, we have made significant progress on our
stabilization efforts to date, all while staying the course on
strategic goals, to deliver long-term value and sustainable growth
in the future.”
This agreement follows Emergent’s September 3, 2024 announcement
that it successfully refinanced its debt and closed a new credit
facility agreement with Oak Hill Advisors for a term loan
of up to $250 million.
