Endurance International Group Announces Completion of Credit Agreement Refinancing


BURLINGTON, Mass., June 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc. (“Endurance” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:EIGI), a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions designed to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed online, today announced that it has completed its previously announced refinancing of the Company’s outstanding $716.625 million term loans due November 2019 (the “2019 Term Loans”) and $980.625 million incremental term loans due February 2023 (the “2023 Term Loans”). The $1,697 million refinancing first-lien term loans due February 2023 (the “Refinancing Term Loans”) were used to repay the 2019 Term Loans and the 2023 Term Loans.

The Refinancing Term Loans are priced at an interest rate of LIBOR + 400, which is 148 basis points lower than the pricing of the 2019 Term Loans and 100 basis points lower than the pricing of the 2023 Term Loans.  The Company expects to reduce its cash interest expense by approximately $22 million on an annual basis as a result of this refinancing.

The Refinancing Term Loans are subject to the same maximum senior secured net leverage covenant as the 2019 Term Loans and the 2023 Term Loans.  The Refinancing Term Loans will mature on February 9, 2023, extending the maturity of the 2019 Term Loans.
