BRP ANNOUNCES AMENDMENT AND EXTENSION OF ITS TERM FACILITY

VALCOURT, QC, Jan. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO) announced today that it successfully amended and extended a substantial portion of its term loan facility, effectively extending U.S. $1,000 million of debt maturities from 2027 to 2031.

"Proactively addressing our debt maturities is an important strategy behind our commitment to preserve a strong balance sheet, and further increases our flexibility to operate and invest for the long-term growth of the Company," said Sébastien Martel, Chief Financial Officer of BRP.

As part of this leverage-neutral amendment, the Company issued a new U.S. $1,000 million Term Loan B-3 from certain new and existing lenders, bearing interest at a rate of 275 basis points over Term SOFR with a Term SOFR floor of 0.0% and maturing in January 2031. The proceeds from this incremental Term Loan B-3 were used to repay a portion of the original Term Loan B-1 due May 2027. The amount outstanding under the Term Loan B-1 decreases from U.S. $1,466 million to U.S. $466 million, with all other terms unchanged including the applicable interest of 200 basis points over Term SOFR with a Term SOFR floor of 0.0%. The other Term Loan B-2 due 2029 remains unchanged and all loans outstanding under the Term Loan B facility remain exempt of financial covenants.
