Armtec Infrastructure Inc.-Revised Lending Limits Under Existing Senior Credit Facilities


GUELPH, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 16, 2011) - Armtec Infrastructure Inc. ("Armtec" or the "Company") (TSX:ARF)(TSX:ARF.DB) today announced that the lenders under its existing senior credit facility have agreed to the revised limits on the amounts to be drawn on the revolving portion of that facility. As previously announced on June 30, 2011, the lenders under the senior credit facility will determine the future amounts to be drawn by Armtec under the revolving portion of that credit facility. This determination will be made on a periodic basis going forward. To date these amounts have been sufficient to meet the Company's requirements.

As previously announced on July 3, 2011, Armtec has entered into a committed financing with a Brookfield Asset Management Inc. company in connection with a $125 million credit facility and a warrant to acquire approximately 4.56 million common shares of Armtec. The first tranche of $90 million under the new credit facility will become available upon finalization of appropriate documentation, and the second tranche of $35 million will become available upon the satisfaction of certain additional due diligence conditions. The new credit facility will allow Armtec to repay in full the lenders under the existing senior facility (in either the third or fourth quarter of this year depending upon the availability of the second tranche).
