Sensient Technologies Corporation has completed a new $450 million revolving credit facility, with nine banks participating in the transaction. The facility, comprised of a five year, $350 million revolver and a $100 million term loan will be used to refinance current bank debt and for general corporate purposes. An SEC Filing notes the company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement by and among the company, as borrower, and a group of nine banks led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and KeyBank National Association, as Syndication Agent.  The credit agreement provides for a $350 million revolving credit facility and a $100 million term loan facility, each with a term of five years. The facility replaces Sensient’s existing $350 million revolving facility that matures in April 2016. To view the SEC 8-K filing, click here.
