Wyndham Worldwide Announces New Credit Facility
PARSIPPANY, N.J. 07-18-2011—
Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:WYN) announced today the closing of a new $1 billion revolving credit facility to replace its existing $980 million facility, which had been scheduled to mature in October 2013. The maturity date of the new facility is July 15, 2016. There is no change to the Company's overall corporate debt balance as a result of this transaction.
"This financing extends the credit facility to a five year term, which strengthens our liquidity profile further and decreases our ongoing interest expense through more favorable pricing terms," said Tom Conforti, chief financial officer of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation. "All current relationship banks participated in the financing and several new participants were added. This demonstrates the banking community's confidence in Wyndham Worldwide."
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Bank of America Merrill Lynch acted as Joint Bookrunners for the new revolving credit facility. Bank of America Merrill Lynch will be acting as administrative agent for the new revolving credit facility.
