Mount Logan Capital Inc. Expands Corporate Credit Facility In Support of Key Business Initiatives
17 Diciembre 2024 - 8:07AM
Mount Logan Capital Inc. (Cboe Canada: MLC) (“Mount Logan” or the
“Company”) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, MLC US
Holdings LLC (“MLC US Holdings”), as Borrower, has entered into an
amendment to its existing credit agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”)
to upsize the facility by approximately $13.0 million, while
amending the facility to, among other things, incorporate a pricing
step-down mechanism as the business continues to perform, which is
expected to reduce Mount Logan’s cost of debt. The Fourth Amendment
also provides for additional distribution capacity from MLC US
Holdings to Mount Logan to support key business initiatives. The
net new proceeds will enable Mount Logan to further invest in its
two key business segments. Proceeds will also be used for general
corporate purposes and paying related transaction fees and
expenses. The outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid
interest in respect of the credit facility will become payable on
August 20, 2027, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the
credit agreement.
Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of Mount Logan, commented, “The opportunistic upsize and
amendment to our credit facility reflects Mount Logan’s strong
financial performance following significant investment into the
business. The incremental proceeds provide Mount Logan flexibility
to further invest into our two synergistic business segments, asset
management and insurance. The transaction provides us additional
liquidity for key business initiatives with a clear pathway to
reducing our cost of debt as our business continues to perform. We
are incredibly appreciative of our financing partner, who has been
critical to driving Mount Logan’s growth story since we established
the credit facility in August 2021.”
As collateral security for its obligations under
the Credit Agreement, MLC US Holdings has granted in favour of the
lenders a security interest in all of the assets of MLC US
Holdings. In addition, Mount Logan has guaranteed the obligations
of MLC US Holdings under the Credit Agreement in favour of the
lender. MLC US Holdings is the holding company for Mount Logan’s US
asset management business.
