Trilogy International Partners Inc. Announces NZD $250,000,000 Senior Finance Facility


BELLEVUE, Wash., July 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trilogy International Partners Inc. (the "Company") (TSX:TRL) today announced that its New Zealand subsidiary, 2degrees, has successfully secured a new NZD $250,000,000 senior debt facility maturing in July 2021. Denominated in New Zealand Dollars, this loan carries an interest rate that is the total of New Zealand's BKBM rate plus a margin, initially 3.3%, that will vary based on 2degrees' net leverage ratio. The loan will refinance 2degrees' existing NZD $200,000,000 debt facility that was scheduled to mature in January 2020. The transaction is scheduled to close on July 31, 2018.

"The completion of this refinancing, which is an upsize of our existing debt facility, is another vote of confidence in our company," said 2degrees Chief Executive Officer Stewart Sherriff. "Third party lenders are effectively validating our business case." The new loan provides borrowing capacity for further investments in the 2degrees business.

The new facility also provides for an uncommitted NZ $35,000,000 accordion facility which can be utilized in the future to fund capital expenditures. ING Bank N.V. served as lead arranger and underwriter.
