Integer Amends Its Senior Secured Credit Facility To Continue Strategy Execution Throughout The Pandemic

Integer Holdings Corporation (“Integer”) (NYSE: ITGR) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed an amendment to its senior secured credit facility as a precautionary step during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jason Garland, EVP & CFO said, “This covenant amendment enhances our ability to continue investing to execute our strategy throughout the pandemic, through continued bolt-on acquisitions and the execution of our operational strategic imperatives.  We appreciate the broad support of our senior lenders and the confidence they have shown in our business strategy.”

Integer expects to maintain compliance with its covenant net leverage ratio and requested a covenant modification as a precautionary measure to provide additional cushion to allow for continued bolt-on M&A activity and protect against a prolonged pandemic.  The net leverage ratio was increased from the existing ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 to 4.75 to 1.00 for the period beginning with the third fiscal quarter of 2020 through the second fiscal quarter of 2021.  In the third fiscal quarter of 2021, the covenant steps down to 4.50 to 1.00 for one quarter until it reverts to the existing ratio through maturity.  Additionally, Integer added a common credit facility feature, where its net leverage ratio can be increased by 0.50 for up to four consecutive quarters commencing in any fiscal quarter in which Integer consummates an acquisition with a $40 million or greater purchase price.

In connection with the amendment, Integer agreed to pay each consenting lender an advanced amendment fee of 0.1% of the borrowing capacity on the Revolver and Term loan A on the amendment effective date.  It will also pay the consenting lenders a deferred amendment fee, payable in installments of 0.03125% of the outstanding Revolver and Term loan A each quarter through maturity, for any quarter Integer’s covenant net leverage ratio equals or exceeds 3.00 to 1.00.
