Latisys, a leading international provider of hybrid cloud hosting and data center solutions, announced the expansion of its credit facility with RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities (USA) and funded by a consortium of over 20 leading financial institutions and institutional investors.

The facility was increased from $200 million to $220 million and pricing was reduced by 20% from the agreement executed in March 2013 -- a six-year, $180 million institutional term loan and a 5-year $20 million revolving credit facility.

The expanded facility, which was rated by Standard and Poor's Rating Services and Moody's Investors Service, was substantially oversubscribed with commitments from several leading sector lenders and institutional investors -- reflecting strong support for the Latisys' operational execution and accelerating growth.

The availability of new capital will be deployed across Latisys' IT Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform to drive customer acquisition by supporting:

• Continued domestic and international platform expansion ensuring availability of high density capacity for current and future customers
• Continued technology platform enhancements to support hybrid cloud services capabilities enabling mid-size and large enterprise clients to enhance security, disaster recovery and high availability needs
• Continued investment in tools and automation to simplify IaaS deployment, support and further streamline operational processes

"Latisys' business growth is fueled by strategic, disciplined investment in both our IaaS platform and in ensuring that Latisys has the expertise necessary to deliver comprehensive IT infrastructure solutions that reduce complexity and add value to our customers," said Doug Butler, Chief Financial Officer for Latisys. "This expanded credit facility helps ensure that we have the capital necessary to accelerate our momentum and further establish Latisys as a leading provider of hybrid cloud hosting and data center solutions."
