September 04 2008 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE:PDX) today announced that it
has completed a new $350 million revolving credit facility that
will provide a funding source for acquisitions, as well as other
corporate purposes. The credit facility also features an option
that would allow Pediatrix, under certain conditions, to increase
the total borrowing capacity under the facility to $400 million.
Pediatrix has successfully used its cash and credit facility to
execute a growth strategy that led to a national group practice of
neonatal, maternal-fetal, pediatric cardiology and pediatric
intensive physicians and advanced practitioners. The Company is
also executing a new strategic opportunity to develop a national
anesthesia physician group practice. The new line of credit was
provided by a syndicate of 12 financial institutions with Wachovia
Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Bank of
America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and U.S. Bank, N.A., as
Documentation Agent. Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC acted as Joint
Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner and Banc of America Securities
LLC acted as Joint Lead Arranger. The new facility matures in five
years, and it replaces a $225 million revolving credit facility
that was due to expire in 2009. About Pediatrix Pediatrix Medical
