The facility replaces a $100 million facility provided by ED & F Man Treasury Management PLC that had been established at the time of the Company's acquisition of the Westway bulk liquid storage and liquid feed businesses. The new $175 million facility will be used to refinance the approximately $88 million balance under the ED & F Man credit facility, leaving $87 million of available credit under the new facility for general corporate purposes, which could include among other things working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

The terms of the new facility are similar to the ED & F Man facility, except for the collateral provided and an accordion feature which allows the new facility to be expanded to $200 million. The new facility allows borrowing at the London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") plus 350 bpts.

Peter Harding, CEO, stated, "We are extremely pleased with the high level of interest and willingness to commit significant funding to Westway by our syndicate of quality banks that are US and globally based. The credit provided by this $175 million facility signifies the completion of another important step in our strategy to grow the Company and the Westway brand into the future."
