BRAMPTON, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 29, 2009) - Brampton Brick Limited (TSX:BBL.A) reported today that it has completed its previously announced new $30,000,000 long-term financing.
A portion of the proceeds of the new financing were utilized to repay a $20,000,000 term bank loan. The balance will be utilized for general corporate purposes.
The term of the loan is seven years with interest only for the first two years. Principal repayments commence in July 2011 at $500,000 per month in the months of July to November inclusive ($2,500,000 per year) to 2015, and a balloon payment of $17,500,000 in June 2016. The rate of interest is fixed at 8.00%.
The loan is secured primarily by real estate and production equipment of the Company's Masonry Products and Landscape Products business segments in both Canada and the U.S.
As previously announced in its press release of May 8, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its bank loan agreement as at March 31, 2009. With the completion of the new term financing and the repayment of the $20,000,000 term bank loan as noted above, these financial covenants are no longer applicable.
