Assure Provides Update on Credit Facility
January 06 2021 - 8:30AM
Assure Holdings Corp. (the “
Company” or
“
Assure”) (TSXV: IOM; OTCQB: ARHH), a provider of
intraoperative neuromonitoring services (“
IONM”),
announces that further to its news releases on August 13 and 31 and
September 8, 2020, Assure has received a commitment letter (the
“
Commitment Letter”) from Central Bank &
Trust, a part of Farmers & Stockmens Bank (“
Central
Bank”) in respect of the loan agreement dated August 12,
2020, between Assure and Central Bank.
Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, Central Bank will increase
the operating line of credit from US$2.5 million to US$4.5 million
(the “Operating Line”) and Assure will
concurrently repay the existing approximately US$2 million term
loan.
“We are pleased with the new proposed terms of the credit
facility which accomplish several important objectives including
facilitating our expansion as we further enhance our liquidity
position with a more flexible balance sheet,” said John A.
Farlinger, Assure’s executive chairman and CEO. “These funds along
with our recently closed private placement will be deployed to
accelerate organic growth, support new initiatives including our
emerging telemedicine offering for IONM and finance targeted
acquisitions.”
Farlinger added, “We appreciated Central Bank’s flexibility with
regards to our recent early final payment associated with the
previously announced acquisition of Neuro-Pro Monitoring that
resulted in a reduced cost to Assure.”
Farlinger concluded, “Central Bank has been a valuable partner
for Assure and we are pleased to expand our relationship.”
The Operating Line will continue to bear interest at a rate of
the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 2.0%, will mature on June
30, 2022 and is repayable, together with interest, on the first
calendar day of each month until maturity. The Operating Line is
secured by a first-ranking security interest in all of the present
and future undertakings, property and assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
