Tempur Sealy International successfully completed the closing of its $1.65 billion senior secured credit facilities, which include a $1.15 billion revolving credit facility and a $500 million term loan facility.
The proceeds of the senior secured credit facilities will be used to refinance Tempur Sealy's existing credit facilities and, in the case of the revolving credit facility, for general corporate purposes. The senior secured credit facilities have an accordion feature that permits incremental borrowings of up to $850 million and potentially substantially more subject to compliance with a specified secured leverage ratio and certain other conditions.
Tempur Sealy Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson said, "We are very pleased with the refinancing of our credit facilities. With this refinancing, we have meaningfully extended our debt maturities, improved our financial flexibility, and increased our potential total senior credit funding while maintaining our current cost of funds in what is clearly a tight commercial banking market."
Thompson added, "We appreciate the strong support from the 13 market-leading lenders who participated in the financing of these facilities. The transaction was substantially over-subscribed, evidencing support for our strategic vision."
