Celadon Group, Inc. (NYSE:CGI) today announced that it has increased its
credit facility to $100 million and reset the term on its five-year,
revolving credit facility agented by Bank of America. The facility will
continue to be used to provide for ongoing working capital needs and
general corporate purposes. Bank of America continues to serve as the
lead arranger in the facility and Wells Fargo Bank continues to
participate in the existing facility. The amended facility matures on
August 29, 2016 and currently bears interest at the option of the
Company at LIBOR plus 75 basis points or the prime rate plus zero basis
points.
Paul Will, President and Chief Operating Officer stated, "We believe the
facility allows for growing the business both organically and through
acquisitions. The facility should provide the Company with increased
liquidity and flexibility to continue to execute on our business plan.”
Steve Russell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We believe
the increased line, coupled with the initiation of our dividend program
recently announced, continues to demonstrate both our financial strength
and our belief in our ability to drive future earnings growth over time.”
