GMS Inc., a leading North American distributor of gypsum wallboard and suspended ceiling systems, announced an amendment to its ABL Credit Agreement (“ABL”). Under the agreement, the ABL will, among other things, expand to $345 million from $300 million, lower the applicable rate per annum by 0.25%, reduce the unused line fees and extend the term until November 2021.
