Ultralife Corporation Closes New $35 Million Revolving Credit Facility
Newark, New York — January 29, 2009 — Ultralife Corporation (NASDAQ: ULBI) has closed on a new $35 million secured revolving credit facility, effective January 27, 2009. Commitments under the facility will be split 60/40 between JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (M&T Bank), with JPMorgan Chase acting as administrative agent. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest based primarily on the Prime Rate plus 50 to 200 basis points or LIBOR plus 300 to 500 basis points, with the borrowing rate dependent on the company meeting certain financial criteria.
This new facility can be used for general corporate purposes including capital expenditures, acquisitions and stock repurchases. The facility expires on June 30, 2010 and replaces the company’s previous facility with the same lenders that was scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009.
“We appreciate the ongoing support of JPMorgan Chase and M&T and their confidence in Ultralife’s growth plans,” said John D. Kavazanjian, president and chief executive officer. “This new facility underscores the strength of our lender relationships in that we have increased our borrowing availability from $22.5 million to $35 million and also enhanced our financial flexibility even as credit markets remain tight.”
