CooperCompanies Announces $2.14 Billion Senior Credit Facility and Amendment of $500 Million 364-Day Credit Facility

CooperCompanies (NYSE:COO) today announced the closing of a new five-year $2.14 billion senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $1.29 billion revolving line of credit and $850 million non-amortizing term loan. Proceeds from the refinancing will be used to retire all indebtedness under the Company’s existing $1.0 billion revolving line of credit and $1.0 billion term loan, as well as for general corporate purposes. The borrowing rates will be based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and can range from LIBOR plus 0.75 percent to 1.5 percent. The initial borrowing rate is LIBOR plus 0.875 percent, which is 25 bps lower than the Company’s current borrowing rate. The Company also announced an amendment to its $500 million 364-day credit facility to match terms and conditions of the new facility where applicable. 

“We initiated this financing before COVID-19 became a pandemic, and I want to thank the banks who maintained their support during this time. In particular, KeyBank, which led the deal and did a fantastic job,” said President and CEO, Albert White. “This facility extends our maturity dates, reduces pricing and provides additional availability, reflecting the strength of Cooper.”
