Keane Announces Amended Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Keane Group, Inc. (“Keane” or the “Company”) today announced that on
December 22, 2017, the Company amended and restated its Asset-Based
Revolving Credit Facility (“New ABL Facility”). The New ABL Facility
expands the Company’s total availability by $150 million to a total of
$300 million, subject to a borrowing base. In addition, subject to
approval by the applicable lenders and other customary conditions, the
New ABL Facility allows for an increase in commitments of up to an
additional $150 million, up from a previous amount of up to $75 million.
Keane’s estimated availability under its New ABL Facility following the
amendment is approximately $215 million. The New ABL Facility bears
interest at LIBOR + 150-200 bps, compared to LIBOR + 400-450 bps
previously. The New ABL Facility also benefits from a lower undrawn
commitment fee of 25-37.5 bps, compared to 100-125 bps previously. The
New ABL Facility also amended certain terms to reflect Keane’s growth
and provide additional flexibility under its covenants.
“This latest amendment to our ABL facility significantly expands our
revolving credit capacity, materially reduces interest costs and deepens
our lender base,” said Greg Powell, President and Chief Financial
Officer of Keane. “We are pleased to enhance our already strong
liquidity position, enhancing our growth and financial flexibility
against a highly constructive market backdrop for U.S. completions
services.”
BofA Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, PNC Capital
Markets LLC and Barclays acted as the joint lead arrangers and joint
book runners for the New ABL Facility. Bank of America, N.A. will serve
