Global Ship Lease, Inc. (NYSE: GSL) announced that the Company has agreed an amendment to its $800 million credit facility.

Under the terms of the amended credit facility, the loan-to-value covenant has been waived up to and including November 30, 2010 with the next loan-to-value test scheduled for April 30, 2011. Further, Global Ship Lease will be able to borrow sufficient funds under the credit facility to allow for the purchase of the CMA CGM Berlioz, a 2001-built 6,627 TEU container vessel that is scheduled to be delivered later this month. Amounts borrowed under the amended credit facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a fixed interest margin of 3.50% up to November 30, 2010. Thereafter, the margin will be between 2.50% and 3.50% depending on the loan-to-value ratio
