Credit facility capacity increased to $1.1 billion; maturity extended to 2015

CHICAGO, September 28, 2010 – Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (NYSE:JLL) announced today that it has renewed and extended its bank credit facility (the “facility”) to further strengthen the firm’s operating flexibility. The borrowing capacity under the new facility has increased to $1.1 billion from $840 million, consisting of $900 million of revolving credit and a $200 million term loan. As of June 30, 2010, the firm had $648 million in total net debt, including bank debt and deferred acquisition obligations. The maturity has been extended to September 2015 from June 2012.

Pricing will range from LIBOR + 1.50% to LIBOR + 3.00% with initial pricing set at LIBOR + 2.25%. With a LIBOR rate of approximately 0.25%, the initial all-in pricing will be 2.50%. Certain other terms and conditions of the facility were amended to provide additional operating flexibility for the firm.

“We are pleased to complete this new credit facility with the support of our relationship bank group,” said Lauralee Martin, Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle. “The increased capacity provides strength and liquidity to meet current commitments and capitalize on new opportunities, and the maturity extension to 2015 is well past the due date of all deferred acquisition payments.”
