- Carries substantially the same terms and conditions as the 2017 credit agreement
- Includes a $300 million term A loan, which replaces the company’s existing $250 million term A loan, reflecting a $50 million upsizing of the previous term A loan facility
- Includes a $250 million revolver, which replaces the company’s existing $250 million revolving credit facility
- Extends the maturity of the company’s credit facilities from June 2022 to April 2026

- Is representative of a widely syndicated group of lenders primarily consisting of the company’s existing lenders
- Was jointly arranged by BofA Securities and Coöperatieve Rabobank, with Bank of America acting as administrative agent.
“We are pleased to announce the refinancing of our existing credit agreement. Upsizing our existing credit facilities with primarily our existing syndicate group of lenders on substantially the same terms, conditions and pricing as our 2017 credit agreement, reflects both the company’s and lenders’ confidence in Phibro. We remain committed to continued debt and leverage reduction,” Jack Bendheim, chairman, president and CEO of Phibro, said.
