Lincoln Educational Services Corporation has entered an amended and restated revolving credit facility with Fifth Third Bank, as lender and as administrative agent, joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner, and Flagstar Bank, Provident Bank, and Santander Bank, as lenders and as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners.
The credit facility, which amends and restates the company’s prior credit facility with Fifth Third Bank, increases the aggregate principal amount from $60 million to $125 million, with a $10 million letter of credit sublimit and a $25 million accordion feature. The $65 million of additional available liquidity provided by the amended and restated credit facility enhances the company’s financial flexibility to execute its growth initiatives and meet its long-term operating objectives. The credit facility has a term of five years and matures on April 11, 2031.
“The amended and restated revolving credit facility, along with our strong balance sheet and robust cash flow, provides Lincoln with ample financial flexibility to achieve our long-term growth objectives,” said Scott M. Shaw, president and chief executive officer. “The 19-20% student start growth that we previously announced for the first quarter of 2026 clearly demonstrates the interest in our programs and the successful execution of our growth strategy. We remain focused on delivering value to all our key stakeholders, and we believe the increased liquidity and strategic investments will enable us to achieve sustained long-term success.”
Additional information regarding the terms of the amended and restated credit facility is contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
