Key Terms

syndicated credit facility, term loan, revolving credit facility, secured overnight financing rate (SOFR), +3 more

7 terms

syndicated credit facility financial

"announced the closing of its inaugural syndicated credit facility."

A syndicated credit facility is a large loan provided to a company by multiple lenders working together, rather than just one. It’s like a group of friends pooling their money to lend to someone, making it easier and safer for everyone involved. This arrangement helps companies access bigger amounts of money quickly when they need it.

term loan financial

"consists of a $580 million initial Term Loan, $300 million Delayed Draw Term Loan"

A term loan is a type of loan that is borrowed for a set period of time, with a fixed schedule for repaying the money, usually in regular payments. It matters to investors because it represents a company's borrowing costs and financial stability; reliable repayment of these loans can indicate strong financial health, while difficulties may signal potential risks.

revolving credit facility financial

"and $100 million revolving credit facility (collectively the “Credit Facility”)."

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) financial

"bear interest at an annual rate equal to the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)"

A secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) is the interest rate on very short, one‑day loans that are backed by high‑quality collateral (like government bonds), so lenders face less risk. Investors care because SOFR is a widely used benchmark that sets the cost of borrowing and the pricing of loans, bonds and derivatives; think of it as a trusted yardstick for short‑term interest costs that influences returns and valuations across markets.

first lien net leverage ratio financial

"plus a spread based on the Company’s First Lien Net Leverage Ratio"

First lien net leverage ratio measures how much of a company’s top-priority secured debt remains after using available cash, compared with the company’s recurring cash earnings. Think of it like the size of a primary mortgage relative to your annual take-home pay after you count money in your savings account. Investors use it to judge credit risk and borrowing capacity: a higher ratio suggests greater default risk, tighter financing terms, or covenant pressure.

joint bookrunners financial

"served as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers for the syndicate of banks"

Joint bookrunners are the lead banks or brokers who share responsibility for organizing and selling a new offering of securities, like shares or bonds. Think of them as co-hosts of a big sale who coordinate pricing, gather investor interest (the “order book”), and split the work and risk—investors watch who the joint bookrunners are because their reputation and effort influence how smoothly the deal is priced, how widely it’s distributed, and how likely it is to succeed.

administrative agent financial

"Truist Bank acted as administrative agent."

An administrative agent is a bank or financial firm appointed to handle the day-to-day paperwork and communication for a group of lenders on a loan or credit agreement, acting as the central point for collecting payments, distributing funds, monitoring covenants, and sharing information. For investors, the administrative agent matters because it influences how quickly lenders receive updates, how smoothly repayments and waivers are handled, and how effectively the lending group enforces terms — think of it as a property manager coordinating tasks for multiple owners.

Five-Year Financing with Favorable Terms that Significantly Reduce Interest Rate

STOUGHTON, Mass., Dec. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Nasdaq: COLL), today announced the closing of its inaugural syndicated credit facility. The new aggregate $980 million credit facility will mature in 2030 and consists of a $580 million initial Term Loan, $300 million Delayed Draw Term Loan, and $100 million revolving credit facility (collectively the “Credit Facility”). The initial Term Loan was used to repay approximately $581 million of principal representing the entire remaining balance of the Company’s previous $646 million term loan secured from funds managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP. The Delayed Draw Term Loan and revolving credit facility, both of which were undrawn at the time of closing, are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including to partially fund future business development opportunities.

“We are pleased to have successfully closed our inaugural syndicated credit facility which significantly improves our debt terms and underscores the strength of our financial outlook,” said Colleen Tupper, Chief Financial Officer of Collegium. “This additional capital also provides us with flexibility to further drive long-term value as we continue to evaluate opportunities to expand and diversify our product portfolio through business development.”

Loans under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread based on the Company’s First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) ranging from 2.75% to 3.75%. The interest rate upon closing was SOFR plus 2.75%. The reduced rate on the new Credit Facility is expected to result in meaningful annualized interest savings. Truist Bank acted as administrative agent. Truist Securities, Inc., Citizens Bank, N.A., MUFG Bank, Ltd., Fifth Third Bank, National Association, The Huntington National Bank, and U.S. Bank National Association served as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers for the syndicate of banks and Flagstar Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association and Synovus Bank served as co-documentation agents.
