SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(NASDAQ: CSOD), a global leader in people development solutions, today announced it has successfully completed a repricing of its senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan B”).
Prior to the repricing, the Term Loan B had an outstanding value of $850 million (the original principal value was $1,005 million) and was repriced to bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% with a LIBOR floor of 0%, which represents a 100 basis point reduction compared to the prior interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.25% with a LIBOR floor of 0%. All other material terms of the Term Loan B remain unchanged, including the maturity date of April 22, 2027. After the repricing, the outstanding value of the loan is $830 million.
“We are pleased with the results of this repricing transaction, which we believe to be a reflection of our strong operational performance in 2020 and continued progress towards reducing leverage and enhancing the company’s liquidity position,” said Chirag Shah, Chief Financial Officer, Cornerstone. “At current LIBOR and debt levels, we expect the improved pricing to save approximately $9 million of annual cash interest expense and enhance our ability to invest in key strategic priorities, including growth initiatives and further deleveraging.”
