GlobeNewswire Inc.
Better Choice Company Inc. (NYSE American: BTTR) (the “Company” or
“Better Choice”), a pet health and wellness company, today
announced that it has successfully extended and upsized the
Company’s existing credit facility to $13.5M with Wintrust
Financial Corporation (“Wintrust”), a leading commercial bank
headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
Under the terms of the amended and restated credit agreement,
Better Choice will simultaneously refinance its existing Term Loan
A, which currently totals $4.7M, using proceeds from its increased
revolving credit facility. In addition, this amendment materially
reduces cash covenants and eliminates all existing quarterly
amortization payments, resulting in a significant increase in

US Fed Funds Rate plus 3.75%.
The amendment provides for the following:
- Increases total borrowing capacity from $12.2M to $13.5M
- Extends the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from
January 2024 to October 2024
- Refinances the Term Loan A, eliminating $4.7M of quarterly
amortization and principal repayments through January 2024
- Reduces required liquidity covenant from $13.0M to $8.5M at
close
- Reduces restricted cash from $6.9M to $6.3M at close
- Interest rate of US Fed Funds Rate plus 3.75%
Lionel Conacher, Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“This amendment significantly increases our total liquidity through
a combination of increased borrowing capacity and the elimination
of scheduled repayments. We are excited to expand our partnership
with Wintrust as we continue to execute on our transformation and
growth strategy going forward.”
