Team Health Holdings, Inc. Announces $575 Million Refinancing of Credit Facility
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. June 29, 2011 Team Health Holdings Inc. (TeamHealth) (NYSE: TMH), one of the largest providers of outsourced healthcare professional staffing and administrative services to hospitals and other healthcare providers in the United States, today announced that it has completed the refinancing of its existing outstanding indebtedness with a new $575 million senior credit facility.
We are very pleased to have completed this comprehensive refinancing, which will provide our Company with additional financial flexibility as we have extended our debt maturities, as well as increased borrowing capacity with the expansion of our revolver, all at attractive rates. This refinancing provides a solid capital structure to support the Companys plans for future growth, said Greg Roth, TeamHealths President and Chief Executive Officer.
The new senior credit facility includes a five-year revolving line of credit of $175 million, which will be undrawn at the close, a five-year Term Loan A of $150 million, and a seven-year Term Loan B of $250 million. The interest rate on any outstanding amounts under the revolver and Term Loan A will be priced off a grid based upon the Companys first lien net leverage ratio and will initially be LIBOR + 225 basis points. The interest rate on the Term Loan B is LIBOR + 275 basis points, subject to a 1% LIBOR floor. The Company used these new financing sources and existing cash to repay $402.7 million of term loans outstanding and to replace and upsize the existing $125 million revolving line of credit and pay customary fees and expenses associated with the refinancing.
J.P. Morgan Securities, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs arranged the refinancing.
