Macquarie Infrastructure Company Announces Successful Refinancing of Atlantic Aviation
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 31, 2013--Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (NYSE: MIC) announced that its Atlantic Aviation subsidiary has successfully refinanced all of its previously outstanding long-term debt.
On May 31, 2013 Atlantic Aviation drew down the full amount on a 7-year, $465 million term loan repaid fully a like amount of bank debt due in October 2014.
In addition to the term loan, Atlantic Aviation has been provided with a $70 million revolving credit facility that it expects to draw on to fund growth projects and expansion. The revolving credit facility was undrawn at closing.
“We are pleased to have completed the refinancing of Atlantic Aviation’s long-term debt on attractive terms. The business is now appropriately capitalized for the next phase of its history,” said James Hooke, Chief Executive Officer of MIC. “The refinancing allows Atlantic Aviation to distribute its substantial free cashflow to MIC and MIC, in turn, to distribute a portion of the cash to its shareholders as an element of its quarterly cash dividend.”
The interest rate on the new term loan is LIBOR plus a 2.50% margin. The LIBOR component has a floor of 75 basis points. MIC expects to hedge the floating rate (LIBOR) component for approximately six years using either an interest rate swap or a cap. The cost of the hedge would be in addition to the stated interest.
The cashflow lockup covenant in the term loan facility is based on Atlantic Aviation having a leverage ratio of not more than 4.5x (debt to EBITDA over the trailing twelve month period) over the first two years of the facility and not more than 4.25x thereafter. At closing the leverage ratio was 3.50x.
