Ameresco Upsizes and Extends Corporate Senior Credit Facility

The Company adds international banking partners to aid in continued European expansion.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today announced the successful refinancing and expansion of its term loan and revolving credit facility. The Company entered into a sixth amended and restated senior secured credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders, including Bank of America, N.A., Keybank National Association, Cooperative Rabobank U.A., New York Branch, Webster Bank, N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, N.A.


The new credit agreement replaces and extends Ameresco’s existing credit agreement and provides up to $50M in additional liquidity through an expanded revolver and term loan. The refinanced facilities include a $225 million revolving credit facility and a $100 million term loan, both maturing on December 28, 2028. Overall, the refinanced credit facilities offer increased financial flexibility for Ameresco at the same interest rate spreads as the prior agreement.

The proceeds from the refinanced credit facilities are expected to be used for a range of general corporate purposes. These might include facilitating permitted acquisitions, refinancing existing corporate indebtedness, and addressing working capital requirements. The obligations under the new credit agreement are guaranteed by certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of the Company’s and subsidiary guarantors’ assets.

“We are pleased to have extended and increased our credit facilities, which will provide us with enhanced financial flexibility to support our growth initiatives and strategic objectives,” said Mark Chiplock, Executive Vice President and CFO of Ameresco. “This refinancing underscores the confidence our lenders have in Ameresco’s business model and future prospects.”
