(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Stallion Oilfield Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announces today that it is seeking commitments for a new senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000,000 (the “Term Loan”) and an increase of commitments under its existing asset-based loan facility (“ABL”) from $50 million to $75 million. The proceeds from the Term Loan are intended to be used to redeem the remaining $134 million of the Company’s senior secured notes due 2015, fund a portion of an approximately $385 million dividend to the Company’s stockholders, and fund transaction costs and for other corporate purposes.
Credit Suisse will act as sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger for the Term Loan and Bank of America, N.A. will continue to act as administrative agent under the ABL.
The Term Loan will be guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and be secured by certain assets of the Company and the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The Term Loan also is not expected to carry any financial maintenance covenants. The increase in the available amount under the ABL would be effected as an amendment to the Company’s ABL. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the Term Loan or the amendment to the ABL on reasonably acceptable terms, or at all.
