MEDIA, Pa., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InfraSource Services, Inc. (NYSE:IFS) announced today that it has entered into a six-year credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Bank of America, N.A. (NYSE:BAC). The new $225 million secured revolving credit facility matures on June 30, 2012 and replaces the Company's previous $85 million revolving credit facility and $84 million term loan. The Company's borrowing availability under the new revolving credit facility is currently $116 million compared to $51 million under the previous facility. Initial borrowings will bear interest at rates that are 150 basis points lower than the previous facility. Under the new credit agreement, InfraSource will have the right to seek additional commitments from lenders to increase the aggregate commitments up to $350 million. "We are extremely pleased with the results of our refinancing that was completed earlier today," said Terry Montgomery, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of InfraSource. "Our new credit facility will provide InfraSource with a lower cost of capital, increased financial flexibility and a longer maturity to support our business strategy. We look forward to working with Bank of America, the lenders who are continuing from our previous facility and also those who are new to the syndicate." The new facility has customary financial and other covenants including certain restrictions on liens, investments, indebtedness and dispositions among others. As a result of entering into the new credit agreement and refinancing of the previous credit facilities, the Company expects to record a non-cash charge in the second quarter 2006 of approximately $4.3 million related to the write-off of deferred financing costs.
