Analysis · EXTR · Technology
Extreme Networks has replaced its prior BMO-led agreement with a new $500 million revolving credit facility, for which JPMorgan serves as agent. At close, the company drew $200 million to repay existing debt, leaving $300 million available. The facility includes an accordion feature that permits up to $175 million in additional commitments plus EBITDA-based capacity. New financial covenants require a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00x and a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.75x, which steps up to 4.25x for material acquisitions. By extending maturity to 2031 and shifting the lending group, this refinancing provides fresh liquidity and covenant headroom.
