LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 14, 2016--
Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (“Kindred” or the “Company”) (NYSE:KND) today
announced that it has closed its previously announced incremental $200
million term loan, the net proceeds of which were used to repay
outstanding borrowings under the Company’s $900 million senior secured
asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). This
incremental term loan has the same terms as, and is fungible with, the
previously outstanding $1.18 billion of term loans under Kindred’s
existing senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan
Facility”).
In addition, Kindred announced that it has closed the previously
announced amendments to the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility. The
Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility were each amended to allow for a
broader range of joint venture activity, increase the Company’s
financial flexibility and make other changes to better align the terms
of these facilities with Kindred’s strategic plan.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as sole lead arranger and sole
bookrunner for the transaction. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the
administrative agent and collateral agent for the ABL Facility and the
Term Loan Facility, under which the incremental term loans were borrowed.
