NOW Inc. Amends Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

NOW Inc. (NYSE:DNOW) announced today that it has entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the existing senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as the administrative agent (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

The First Amendment amends certain terms, provisions and covenants of the Credit Agreement, including, among other things: (i) extends the maturity date under the Credit Agreement to December 14, 2026; (ii) provides for a five-year $500 million global revolving credit facility, with potential to further increase the credit facility to $750 million; (iii) increases availability under the Credit Agreement by expanding the borrowing base definition to include certain pledged cash deposits of the Borrowers; and (iv) decreases by 0.250% the applicable rate for borrowings of base rate loans and Eurocurrency rate loans when the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00.

David Cherechinsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of NOW Inc., stated, "I am pleased that we have completed the amended credit facility which extends our agreement through December 2026 and provides cost savings and improved terms. Working capital efficiencies converted our inventory and receivables into record cash levels. Under the updated credit facility, including the accordion feature, we maintain a considerable runway for growth with the potential to triple our reported third quarter credit facility availability of $248 million. We are appreciative of our bank group’s support and continued commitment to DNOW. The amended credit facility along with our strong cash position and debt-free balance sheet provide significant strategic flexibility and capital for continued growth."

Additional information regarding the First Amendment can be found on a Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
