M/I Homes
Announces New $200 Million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
COLUMBUS, Ohio (July 19, 2013) - M/I Homes, Inc. (NYSE: MHO) announced that it entered into a new three-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of nine banks led by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners. The new credit facility replaces the Company's previous $140 million secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in December 2014.
PNC Bank, National Association, will serve as Administrative Agent. Banks participating in the new credit facility include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Syndication Agents, Citibank, N.A., Comerica Bank, The Huntington National Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, and Regions Bank and Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Lenders. Upon the closing of the new credit facility on July 18, 2013, there were $14.5 million of letters of credit and no borrowings outstanding under the facility. The new credit facility includes a letter of credit sublimit of $100 million, and has an uncommitted $25 million accordion feature which could increase the aggregate commitment amount of the credit facility to $225 million, subject to certain conditions and the availability of additional bank commitments.
Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “This new credit facility will provide us with additional financial flexibility. We appreciate the support of this strong group of banking partners, many of whom have maintained relationships with M/I Homes for more than a decade. We believe the commitment of these banks is a reflection of the company's improved financial performance, strong balance sheet and low leverage, and is also a testament to our success in managing through the downturn over the past several years.”
