VerticalScope entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement, amending and restating its existing credit agreement with Capital One. The credit agreement was amended and restated to remove the single term loan tranche under the existing credit agreement and increase the revolving loan commitments under the existing credit agreement to $100 million. The credit facility has been extended and will now mature on Oct. 4, 2028. The A&R credit agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, and is secured on a basis consistent in material respects with the existing credit agreement.
“We are excited to announce the refinancing of our credit facility. The new agreement provides us with greater flexibility at the same pricing and extends our term for another four years,” Rob Laidlaw, founder, CEO and chair of VerticalScope, said. “Our strong operating results have allowed us to strengthen our balance sheet, and with this new credit agreement in place, we are in an even better position to pursue accretive acquisitions that will accelerate our growth. We thank our lenders for their continued long-term support of our business.”
Capital One is acting as sole lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent for all lenders in connection with the A&R Credit Agreement. Citibank, National Bank of Canada and Royal Bank of Canada are additional parties in the bank syndicate.
Kirkland & Ellis acted as legal counsel to VerticalScope and King & Spalding acted as legal counsel to Capital One.
