Insituform
Technologies, Inc. Enters into
New
$115 Million Credit Facility
CHESTERFIELD,
MO, March 31, 2009 - Insituform Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select Market:
INSU) ("Insituform" or the "Company") today announced that it had entered into a
new $115 million credit facility with a syndicate of banks, with Bank of
America, N.A. serving as the administrative agent. The credit
facility consists of a $65 million three-year revolving credit line and a $50
million three-year term loan facility. The entire amount of the term
loan was drawn today by the Company to pay a portion of the cash purchase price
of the Company's acquisition of Corrpro Companies, Inc., which transaction
closed on March 31, 2009. This new facility replaces the Company's
existing $35 million facility, which was scheduled to expire in April
2009.
Banc of
America Securities LLC acted as the sole lead arranger and the sole book manager
in the syndication of the credit facility. In addition to Bank of
America, N.A., the participating banks in the syndicate are Fifth Third Bank, US
Bank, BBVA Compass Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Associated Bank, and Capital One
Bank. As of December 31, 2008, each of the participating banks was
"well capitalized" under federal bank regulatory agency guidelines.
Generally,
interest will be charged on the principal amounts outstanding under the credit
facility at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.00%
depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. The Company
also can opt for an interest rate equal to a base rate (as defined in the credit
documents) plus an applicable margin, which is also based on the Company's
consolidated leverage ratio. The applicable LIBOR borrowing rate
(LIBOR plus Company's applicable margin) as of March 31, 2009 was approximately
4.71%.
The
credit facility includes a provision permitting the Company, by notice to Bank
of America, N.A., as administrative agent, to increase either the revolving
credit line or the term loan with additional commitments of up to $25 million
from either the existing lending banks or additional financial
institutions.
David
Martin, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said "We are pleased by the
enthusiasm shown by the participating banks in bringing this credit facility to
fruition. In this time of tight credit markets, our facility was
actually oversubscribed. We are gratified by the confidence that our
banks have shown in our company, our acquisition strategy and our operating plan
going forward".
