MSX International (MSXI), a leading global business process outsourcing company, completed the refinancing of its outstanding debt and raised $260 million of senior secured credit facilities in a syndicated financing led by RBC Capital Markets and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. RBC Capital Markets and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey acted as Joint Lead Arrangers on the refinancing and Royal Bank of Canada will serve as the Administrative Agent to the company. The proceeds of the refinancing were used to repay the debt incurred from the company's previous refinancing transaction in 2012.
The refinancing will result in a reduction of MSXI's annual debt interest costs by more than 50 percent. Included in the new credit facilities, MSXI secured a $40 million revolving credit facility which will be provided by a group of lenders including Fifth Third Bank, FirstMerit Bank N.A., Hitachi Capital America Corp., and JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.
