Analysis · COLD · Real Estate & Construction
Americold Realty Trust has amended and restated its syndicated credit facility, significantly increasing its borrowing capacity and extending key maturity dates. The company added CAD$100 million to its Term A-2 loan tranche and introduced a new AUD$230 million term loan tranche, both of which were immediately drawn. This provides substantial capital for general corporate purposes and working capital. Furthermore, the maturity dates for the $1.15 billion Revolving Credit Facility, the Term A-2 loan, and the 2025 delayed draw term loan were extended, enhancing financial flexibility and reducing refinancing risk. The facility remains unsecured, which is a positive for the company's asset base.
