Regis Corporation (NYSE: RGS), a leader in the haircare industry, whose primary business is owning, operating and franchising hair salons, announced today that it has closed on a new unsecured $260 million, five-year revolving credit facility that expires in March 2023. The new revolver replaces the Company’s previous $200 million, unsecured, five-year credit facility that was due to expire in June 2018. Bank of America and KeyBanc are the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners of this new facility.

The Company also announced that it has exercised its right to redeem its $123 million, 5.5% high-yield notes due December 2019. The Company noted that it intends to retire the notes with $36 million from cash on hand and $90 million of borrowing under the new revolving credit facility.

Andrew Lacko, Executive Vice President and CFO stated, “These transactions represent an important step in the Company’s operational and strategic turnaround. The replacement of the current credit facility with an upsized revolver, in conjunction with the retirement of the Sr. Term Notes, ensures the Company will have access to sufficient long-term liquidity levels while maintaining optimum balance sheet flexibility to support its on-going transformation.”
