ST. JOHN'S, July 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Today Rutter Inc. (TSX: RUT) announced that it has entered into an amending agreement with its lenders to modify the terms of its operating loan and term debt.

The lenders have agreed to: (i) extend the maturity of the Company's operating loan ("Loan A") from April 30, 2014 to September 30, 2016; (ii) to extend the maturity of the Company's term loan ("Loan B") from June 30, 2014 to September 30, 2016 and to (iii) reduce the monthly installments repayable on Loan B from $150,000 to $75,000. All other terms of the loans remain the same and no additional fees have been paid as a result of the change in terms.

As of today's date, Loan B has a principal outstanding balance of $3,750,000 and the Company has not drawn down any of its $2,000,000 available funds under Loan A. 

"We are pleased to have these changes in terms in place well in advance of the April 2014 and June 2014 maturities, removing any uncertainty regarding the renewal of these instruments in the coming year" stated Fraser Edison, President and CEO of Rutter Inc. "The reduction of our Loan B monthly payments also gives us additional cash flow flexibility, reducing our need to draw down upon the $2,000,000 operating loan."
