Exhibit 99.1
WINDSOR, CT, February 12, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:SSNC), a global provider of financial services software and software-enabled services (the Company), today announced that it completed a repricing of its $213.2 million term A-2 loans (the Existing Term Loan A-2). As a result of the repricing transaction, the Existing Term Loan A-2 has been replaced by new term A-2 loans (the New Term Loan A-2) at the same outstanding principal balance of $213.2 million, but at a different interest rate. The applicable interest rate on the New Term Loan A-2 has been reduced to either LIBOR plus 2.0% or the base rate plus 1.0%.
Based on current market conditions, the repricing represents a reduction in the interest rate of 50 basis points and is expected to reduce annual cash interest payments by approximately $1.1 million, before considering future principal payments.
The maturity date for the Term Loan A-2 remains December 8, 2017 and no changes were made to the financial covenants or scheduled amortization.
Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch acted as the Designated 2014 Replacement Term A-2 Lender, and Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. acted as the lead arranger, in connection with the repricing. |
