Dollar Financial Corp Announces New $200 Million Global Revolving Credit Facility

BERWYN, Pa., Mar 03, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) —

Dollar Financial Corp (NASDAQ:DLLR — News), a leading international diversified financial services company primarily serving unbanked and under-banked consumers for over 30 years, today announced a new four-year $200 million global revolving credit facility, with a potential to further expand the credit facility to $250 million. Interest payable on borrowings under the new facility, which replaces the Company’s existing $75.0 million revolving credit facility in the United States and C$28.5 million facility in Canada, will be derived from a pricing grid based on the Company’s total leverage ratio, which currently allows borrowings at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 400 bps, or approximately 4.25%. The new revolving credit facility is set to mature on March 3, 2015.

Commenting on the agreement, Randy Underwood, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “As compared to our previous credit agreement, this new larger facility will now allow for multiple tranches of multi-currency borrowings. This should enable the Company to deploy funds around the world in a more efficient and expeditious manner to facilitate the continued execution of our multi-country, multi-product, and multi-channel business expansion and diversification strategy. The Company continues to maintain an active global acquisition pipeline and this facility will, in addition to providing for short term liquidity needs in the normal course of business, provide additional capacity and enhanced flexibility for pursuing these opportunities.”

The new revolving credit facility may be used to initially fund a portion of the Company’s previously announced $195.0 million pending acquisition of Purpose U.K. Holdings Limited, the parent company of Month End Money (“MEM”). MEM, which operates under the brand name PaydayUK, is the leading provider of internet loans in the United Kingdom through both internet and telephony-based technologies.
