Oceaneering Announces the Amendment and Extension of its Revolving Credit Facility and Completes Early Repayment of Term Loan Debt
HOUSTON, Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Oceaneering International, Inc. ("Oceaneering") (NYSE:OII) announced today that it has amended its October 2014 credit agreement to extend the maturities of its $500 million undrawn unsecured revolving credit facility, such that the total commitments will be $500 million until October 2021, and thereafter, $450 million until January 2023. The original credit agreement also provided for a $300 million term loan that was paid off in conjunction with the amendment using proceeds from the Company's issuance of $300 million of ten-year senior notes in February 2018. Prior to being repaid, the term loan was scheduled to mature in October 2019.
Alan R. Curtis, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Oceaneering, said, "We appreciate the support of our extending lenders and the confidence that this commitment reflects in our business model. While liquidity has not been a concern of ours, the extension of the revolving credit facility, and the early repayment of the term loan, increases Oceaneering's liquidity runway by improving our debt maturity profile. At December 31, 2017, we had $430 million of cash on the balance sheet and $500 million of undrawn capacity available under our revolving credit facility, and our next scheduled debt principal maturity is in November 2024. Our financial position gives us valuable optionality as we reposition the company for growth."
