TORONTO, May 30, 2014 /CNW/ - BSM Technologies Inc. ("BSM" or the "Company") (TSX-V: GPS), a leading provider of remote monitoring, fleet management, fleet diagnostics and automated vehicle security systems, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, BSM Technologies U.S. Holdings, Inc. ("BSM U.S."), has closed its previously announced acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of privately held Lat-Lon, L.L.C. ("Lat-Lon"), a Colorado limited liability company (the "Lat-Lon Acquisition"), upon the terms previously announced in the Company's press release dated May 15, 2014.
"By adding Lat-Lon's impressive customer base, rail car and locomotive product portfolio, and team, we have quickly expanded beyond our existing high-rail solution and positioned BSM as a leader in the important rail vertical," said Aly Rahemtulla, President & CEO of BSM. "We will continue expanding in this key vertical, with many exciting opportunities in front of us."
BSM also announced today that its credit agreement dated as of June 28, 2013 with a Canadian chartered bank has been amended to temporarily increase the existing revolving credit facility from $3,000,000 to $11,400,000 (the "Credit Increase"). The Credit Increase was utilized in connection with the closing of the Lat-Lon Acquisition. BSM currently expects to amend and restate its existing credit agreement (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), whereby BSM U.S. will become an additional borrower and a new five (5) year term credit facility for USD$7,000,000 will be added. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is currently expected to close on or prior to June 30, 2014, is subject to customary closing conditions and will be used to reduce the balance on the revolving credit facility.
