REGINA, July 8, 2013 /CNW/ - Information Services Corporation ("ISC" or the "Company") announced today the closing of secured credit facilities (collectively, the "Credit Facilities") provided by a Canadian chartered bank in the aggregate amount of $19,935,000. The Credit Facilities are comprised of (i) a $9,935,000 three year committed revolving term loan facility (the ''Revolving Term Facility") to be initially used to replace the existing short-term indebtedness of ISC to the General Revenue Fund of Saskatchewan, and (ii) a $10 million uncommitted revolving credit facility (the ''Operating Facility") to be used for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Term Facility loan will mature on July 5, 2016 unless renewed prior to that time. The Operating Facility is repayable by ISC upon demand by the lender and the lender may terminate such Operating Facility at any time.
Borrowings under the Credit Facilities will bear interest at a base rate of prime, bankers' acceptance fee, letter of credit fee or letter of guarantee fee (each as determined in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facilities), plus a margin varying between 0.7% and 1.7% per annum depending on the type of advance. ISC is also required to pay a commitment fee quarterly in arrears at the rate of 0.34% per annum of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Term Facility loan. The Company will pay customary closing fees to the lender in connection with the Credit Facilities.
ISC is a provider of registry and information services to the province of Saskatchewan. The Company is the exclusive provider of the Land Titles Registry, Land Surveys Directory, Personal Property Registry and Corporate Registry in Saskatchewan, which are key supporters of economic activity in the province.
