Boulder Brands successfully amended its credit agreement, which was originally entered into on July 2, 2012. An SEC 8-K filing indicates that the Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch is serving as administrative agent on the agreement.
The amendment, among other things, increases the company's revolving credit facility from $40.0 million to $60.0 million, increases the required ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA for purposes of permitted acquisitions from 4.00 to 1.00 to 4.25 to 1.00 and provides the company with greater financial flexibility to make future capital expenditures by increasing the annual limit from $12.0 million to $20.0 million. The amended capital expenditure annual limit of $20.0 million excludes up to $14.0 million in capital expenditures related to the Udi's continuous bread line and facilities consolidation, previously announced.
"We are pleased with our ability to amend our credit agreement to achieve terms that improve our financial flexibility," said Christine Sacco, Boulder Brands treasurer and chief financial officer.
"We appreciate the support that we received in this transaction from our banking partners, which reflects the strength of our relationships with our banks and the solid fundamentals of our business as we continue to execute our long-term growth strategy."
