Dundee Precious Metals Increases Revolving Credit Facility by $125
Million to $275 Million
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 26, 2014) - Dundee Precious
Metals Inc. (TSX:DPM) (TSX:DPM.WT.A) ("DPM" or "the Company") has
added $125 million of credit capacity to its existing long-term
committed revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"),
increasing the total size of the Revolving Facility to $275
million. This increase was supported by all of the Company's
existing lenders, being BNP Paribas, Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development,
Raiffeisen Bank International AG Group, Royal Bank of Canada, and
Unicredit Bank AG, as well as Export Development Canada, a new
lender to the Company.
"This expanded credit facility provides us with access to a cost
effective and flexible source of funding that maintains our
financial strength and supports the continued development of our
business," said Rick Howes, DPM's President and CEO. "We are
pleased with the support we received from our banking partners and
are well positioned to fund our anticipated near-term discretionary
growth projects."
The expanded Revolving Facility is comprised of two evergreen
tranches of $150 million (previously $125 million) and $45 million
(previously $25 million) that mature in February 2017 and 2019,
respectively, and a new tranche of $80 million that matures in June
2019, with quarterly reductions of $4 million beginning in the
third year. The Revolving Facility is supported by guarantees from,
and by pledges of the Company's investments in its wholly-owned
operating subsidiaries. Interest is based on LIBOR plus a spread,
which varies between 2.75% and 5.50%, depending upon the tranche
and Company's debt leverage ratio (funded net debt to EBITDA), as
defined in the Revolving Facility agreement.
