Little Rock-based Westrock Coffee Company has secured $600 million in new credit facilities, replacing a previous $425 million arrangement. This refinancing move provides the company with $270 million in liquidity at closing and extends maturity dates through 2031.
Why it matters
The new financing arrangement improves the company's financial flexibility by reducing scheduled principal payments by approximately $15 million over four quarters. This restructuring allows Westrock to optimize its balance sheet while maintaining key leverage and coverage ratios.
The credit facility consists of a $300 million term loan and a $300 million revolving facility that matures in October 2031. Additionally, the company repurchased $40 million of 2029 convertible notes using $21 million in cash and 2,391,030 shares.
