New, enlarged debt facilities support ongoing growth plans

Volex plc (AIM:VLX), the global integrated manufacturing and power product specialist, announces it has successfully completed a refinancing with a syndicate of five banks, replacing its existing $100 million revolving credit facility with a new $200 million committed facility (the "Facility") together with an additional $100 million uncommitted accordion (the "Accordion").

The Facility has an initial maturity date of February 2025, with two one-year extension options. It is structured as a $125 million revolving credit facility and a $75 million term loan. The Facility has a borrowing cost at the Company's current leverage levels of 200 basis points over SOFR, compared to 230 basis points over the aggregate of SOFR plus a credit adjustment spread under the prior facility. The Facility also benefits from more relaxed financial covenants to provide increased flexibility to accommodate future acquisitions.

The Facility and the Accordion will provide Volex with additional liquidity to support Volex's ambitious growth strategy, based on further investment in attractive organic and inorganic growth opportunities.

Jon Boaden, Chief Financial Officer of Volex, commented:

"We are pleased to have enlarged our credit facilities at an improved margin, reflecting the strength of support from our relationship banks and their confidence in our strategy, business model and long-term growth plans. The Facility will provide us with additional liquidity and improved flexibility to invest in high-growth organic opportunities, as well as further acquisitions, where we have a strong and demonstrable track record of value creation.

The new facilities also strengthen our ambitions to deliver sustainable growth as we continue to perform robustly, successfully navigating the current supply chain challenges while demonstrating our ongoing ability to pass through inflationary cost increases."
