The new loan facilities, which have been extended to the Company by Hancock Bank, include a $3.5 million five-year term loan agreement and a $1.5 million revolving credit facility that have replaced existing outstanding term loan borrowings and the unused revolving credit facility with Regions Bank.
"We are very pleased to announce our new banking relationship with Hancock Bank," stated Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. "The terms of the refinancing lower the interest rate on our borrowings to LIBOR plus 3%, eliminate the principal balloon payment due in January 2015, and incorporate less restrictive covenants.
