Amended Debt Facility

 

Travelzest plc announces today that it has reached agreement with its current lending bank Barclays Bank plc ("Barclays") to amend the terms of its existing debt facility (the "Amended Debt Facility" or "AMD").

 

The Company continues to see strong growth opportunities in the Canadian market which comprises the overwhelming majority of the Company's operations. The Company's UK operations which represent a very small part of the overall group operations continue to experience challenging markets.

 

Terms of the AMD

 

The Company has over the last few months been negotiating the terms of the AMD and the Board believes the revised facility will allow it greater flexibility in order to better manage the business.

 

The Amended Debt Facility is substantially based on the existing debt facility and is revised, inter alia, on the following terms:

 

·; The repayment date for the existing facility has been extended to 31 October 2013;

 

·; Pursuant to the AMD, outstanding amounts in respect of the existing £12,500,000 facility will be in Sterling denominated loans with a facility for multi-currency drawdown. Repayments are now scheduled to commence on 31 January 2013; and

 

·; A new revolving facility has been introduced with a maximum initial draw down of £3,500,000. This is also repayable on 31 October 2013.

 

As part of these arrangements the Company will be required to pay Barclays an amendment fee of £705,000 which is payable as to £155,000 on the date of the amendment deed and in six equal monthly instalments commencing on 31 January 2013. Under certain circumstances, this fee may be increased to £1.1 million. In addition, to the extent that the Company has drawn down on the new revolving facility and there remains an outstanding balance on 3 January 2012, Barclays will charge a daily monitoring fee of approximately £2,300 per day which would become payable in four equal quarterly instalments commencing on 31 January 2013.

 

There have been no other material changes to the existing debt facility.
