Zayo Group Announces Amendment and Re-Pricing of Credit Agreement

LOUISVILLE, CO — (Marketwire) — 02/28/13 — Zayo Group announces it has successfully completed the amendment of its credit agreement, including the re-pricing of both its term loan and revolving credit facility.

The $1.6 billion term loan facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.50 percent, with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.00 percent, and was priced at par. Its revolving credit facility remains undrawn and will bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00 percent based on the current leverage level. As a result of the re-pricing, Zayo expects to save approximately $12 million of annual cash interest payments.

In addition, the company amended certain terms and provisions of its credit agreement, including removing the senior secured and total leverage maintenance covenants, increasing the total leverage incurrence test from 5 to 5.25x as a multiple of EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and increasing its revolving credit facility by $25 million to $250 million through the addition of Citibank, N.A. to the lender group.

Morgan Stanley, Barclays Capital and RBC Capital Markets served as joint bookrunners and SunTrust, UBS and Goldman Sachs served as co-managers on the term loan re-pricing, and SunTrust acted as the agent on the revolving credit facility.
