Pyxus International, a global value-added agricultural company, announced the amendment of its asset-based lending (ABL) credit facility with PNC Bank, which was initially established February 8, 2022. As part of the amendment, the Company will have access to increased borrowing availability, lower interest rates and fees in the credit agreement, and an extended maturity date.

The amended agreement provides Pyxus with access to an additional $30 million of funding, increasing the committed facility size to $150 million. It also reduces the interest rate margin by 25 basis points annually, from 300 basis points to 275 basis points, as well as reducing or eliminating several other fees in the credit agreement.

"The successful completion of the new ABL facility highlights the strength of our partnership with PNC and demonstrates our continued progress in enhancing our credit profile," said Dustin Styons, Pyxus' interim CFO. "These amendments further strengthen our capital structure, increase our financial and operational flexibility, and reinforce our commitment to maintaining a disciplined and strategic approach to credit improvement."
