TORONTO, March 30, 2017 /CNW/ - Distinct Infrastructure Group Inc. ("Distinct" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has agreed on terms to refinance its current and long-term debt. The Company is working with Royal Bank of Canada, its existing senior lender, to consolidate all of its debt under one facility. As part of the process, the Company will be exercising its option under the Crown Capital debt facility to repay the debt early.
By restructuring its debt, the Company anticipates reducing its effective interest rate from approximately 10% to just under 4% which will result in significant cost savings in its interest expense, bring down its cost of capital and will allow the company to better manage its working capital. The Company will complete the refinancing effective May 26th, 2017.
"This deal is a testament to the hard work and success that the company has achieved in the last eighteen months. It recognizes that the company has become a leader in its space, and continues to execute on its business plan." "This financing is the next logical step in the evolution, growth and maturity of Distinct, and allows us to continue delivering strong growth," said Manny Bettencourt, CFO of Distinct Infrastructure Group Inc.
