WALNUT CREEK, CA--(Marketwire - December 2, 2010) - American Reprographics Company (
The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repay its existing credit facility which was due to expire in 2012.
"I'm very pleased to have successfully concluded the offering," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO. "Our new debt structure provides patient capital to help us position the company for success as the economy recovers, and to create long-term value for our investors. The notes enable us to capitalize on ARC's potential without the restrictions normally associated with a conventional bank loan."
The transaction was led by BoA Merrill Lynch, with J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo Securities also participating as joint book-running managers. Citi was a co-manager on the transaction.
Concurrent with the offering, the Company also entered into a new 5-year, $50 million revolving credit line with Wells Fargo Bank with normal and customary terms and conditions.
