ROCHELLE PARK, N.J., Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORBCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBC), a global provider of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that it has entered into a $200 million five-year term loan facility (the Term Loan) and a $50 million revolving credit facility. Concurrently, the Company completed the redemption of all of its outstanding 8.00% senior secured notes (the Notes) and ended its previous $25 million revolver facility.

As part of the next phase of ORBCOMMs evolution, weve taken actions to strategically improve the Companys capital structure by replacing the previous high-yield notes with this term loan at a significantly lower interest rate, said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMMs Chief Executive Officer. With multiple acquisitions and a comprehensive integration effort behind us, as well as lower interest expense, we are in a great position to execute on our business plan, reduce debt levels and focus on organic growth.

The Term Loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the Companys consolidated net leverage ratio and will mature on December 2, 2025. The proceeds of the Term Loan, together with $20 million from the new revolving credit facility and cash on hand, were used to redeem the Companys outstanding Notes pursuant to their terms at 104% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, December 2, 2020.Upon completion of this redemption, none of the 8.00% Notes remained outstanding.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., acted as Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner for the financing. Funding was provided through a syndicate of banks.

Additional details regarding the terms of the new facilities are discussed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with theSecurities and Exchange Commission.
