TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (TSL) has favorably amended and extended its senior secured revolving credit facility (“the amended facility”) with its bank group. The amended facility has a borrowing rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points, a 25 basis point reduction, with no LIBOR floor, and a final maturity of October 2019, extended from February 2019. Under the terms of the amended facility, the letter of credit sublimit has been increased from $20 million to $100 million. The amended facility continues to include the accordion feature, which would allow the company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the amended facility to a maximum of $956.3 million.
