Credit markets analyst

Aviat expands term loan and revolver capacity by $40M.

Aviat Networks amended its secured Credit Agreement to add $20,000,000 of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and $20,000,000 of additional Revolving Credit Commitment. This expands total borrowing capacity under the existing Loan Facility, potentially giving the company more flexibility in how it finances operations or strategic initiatives, while keeping the same overall structure and agent bank group.

The amendment brings in new lenders to provide the increased commitments, while Wells Fargo Bank remains administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, and Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Regions Capital Markets remain joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The actual impact will depend on how much of the new capacity Aviat chooses to draw and on the detailed terms in the amended agreement, which are referenced in Exhibit 10.1.
