Worthington Industries Extends Existing $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 19, 2018 -- Worthington Industries, Inc. (NYSE:WOR) announced today that it has extended its existing five-year, revolving credit facility.  The existing $500.0 million facility, which was set to mature on April 23, 2020, has been amended and extended until February 16, 2023.

Borrowings under the amended credit facility bear interest based on a credit ratings grid and currently equals the applicable LIBOR rate plus 1.25%. The amended credit facility also contains an accordion feature that would allow it to expand by an additional $300 million from new and existing lenders on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments. Following the amendment, the Company currently has $536.8 million in combined availability under the credit facility and the Company’s $50 million accounts receivable securitization program.  The revolving credit facility is with a consortium of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Capital Markets LLC.
