Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. has amended and restated its existing $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and raised $500 million in a new term loan. The credit agreement has a term of five years, expiring April 4, 2018 and includes an increase option of the revolving credit facility for up to an additional $500 million. Both facilities allow for prepayments.

David H. Hannah, chairman and CEO of Reliance said, “These financing transactions are a significant step in obtaining the financing necessary to complete our previously announced acquisition of Metals USA that we expect to close in the 2013 second quarter. The bank markets remain favorable and we are happy with the pricing and other terms under the new facility. We appreciate the continued support of the syndicate of 26 banks involved in our credit facility.”

Bank of America N.A. is the Administrative Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association are Co-Syndication Agents. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC were the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers.
