Key Terms

revolving credit facility, accordion feature, sole bookrunner, administrative agent, +2 more

6 terms

revolving credit facility financial

"amendment to the Company's existing Revolving Credit Facility (the "Facility"), which has now"

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.

accordion feature financial

"upsized to US$150 million with a US$50 million Accordion feature (the “Accordion”)."

An accordion feature is a clause in a loan or financing agreement that allows a company to expand the size of a credit line or the amount of securities available under the same contract without drafting a completely new deal. Like a suitcase that can be extended to hold more items, it gives a company quick flexibility to raise extra money, which can help fund growth but may increase debt or dilute existing shareholders—so investors watch it for changes in risk and ownership.

sole bookrunner financial

"National Bank Capital Markets also acting as Sole Bookrunner."

A sole bookrunner is the main organization responsible for managing and coordinating a financial offering, such as selling bonds or shares to investors. They handle tasks like setting the price, finding buyers, and ensuring the process runs smoothly, much like a conductor leading an orchestra. This role matters to investors because it signals who is overseeing the deal and can influence how smoothly the offering proceeds.

administrative agent financial

"National Bank of Canada ("NBC") 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.

syndication agent financial

"CIBC as Co-Lead Arranger and Syndication Agent."

A syndication agent is the financial firm that organizes and manages a group of lenders or investors who jointly provide a loan or buy a new security. Acting like the lead coordinator in a group purchase, it negotiates terms, divides the deal into portions, handles paperwork and communications, and monitors payments; its efficiency and reputation influence pricing, investor confidence and how smoothly capital is raised or recovered in trouble.

sofr financial

"subject to interest at SOFR plus 2.25%-3.5% per annum and the undrawn portion"

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.
