Avis Budget (CAR) Unit Closes $500M of Term Loan Borrowings

March 19, 2012 7:31 AM EDT
Avis Budget Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CAR) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, has closed an offering of $500 million of term loan borrowings due 2019. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay approximately $420 million of term loan borrowings due in 2014 and 2018 and $75 million of senior notes due in 2014.

The interest rate on the new term loan borrowings ― LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum, subject to a 1% floor ― is nearly two points lower than the interest rate on the debt being repaid. As a result, the Company expects to generate approximately $9 million of corporate interest expense savings annually from the term loan issuance.
