AZZ Inc. has secured a Seventh Amendment to its existing Credit Agreement, extending the maturity date of its $400 million revolving credit facility to May 7, 2029. This amendment also significantly reduces the interest rate margins applicable to Revolving Credit Loans, as well as commitment and letter of credit fees. The favorable terms, including a 50-100 basis point reduction in interest rate margins and 5-10 basis point reduction in commitment fees, reflect strong lender confidence and will lower the company's cost of capital, enhancing its financial flexibility.
