New long-term funding facilities
Redcentric plc (AIM:RCN), a leading UK IT managed services provider, is pleased to announce that it has entered into new long-term bank funding facilities (the "New Facilities"). The New Facilities re-finance the Company's existing bank facility, and provide long-term funding stability for Redcentric.
The New Facilities comprise a five-year £40 million Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF"), with a £20 million accordion, along with a £5 million Asset Financing Facility and a £5 million Overdraft Facility. The RCF has been provided jointly by Barclays Bank PLC and The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, with Lombard Technology Services Ltd providing the Asset Financing Facility and Barclays the Overdraft Facility.
The New Facilities replace the existing bank facility with Barclays and will be partly used to finance the acquisition of Calyx Managed Services Ltd, announced separately today. Following that acquisition, Redcentric will have significant levels of headroom available within the New Facilities.
