BAUDETTE, Minn., Dec. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ANI
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("ANI") (Nasdaq: ANIP) today announced that it has entered a new five-year Senior Secured Credit Facility
(the "Facility") for up to $125 million with Citizens Bank. The Facility is comprised of a
$75 million five-year term loan that was closed today in support of ANI's acquisition of four NDAs
acquired from AstraZeneca for $46.5 million in cash as previously announced this morning. In
addition, the term loan has been utilized to refinance existing indebtedness of $25 million that
was outstanding against ANI's now retired $30 million asset-based revolving credit facility with
Citizens Bank. This Facility also includes a $50 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit
Facility which remains un-drawn at this time. The Facility is secured by the assets and equity interests of the
company.
Stephen P. Carey, ANI's Vice President and CFO stated, "Today's expansion of our relationship
with Citizens Bank enables ANI to continue to execute upon its business model. We believe that the flexibility of the
revolver portion of the Facility coupled with our cash on-hand, continued cash flow from operations and the significant benefit
of recently enacted U.S. corporate tax reform will continue to support our future growth. As of today, ANI's cash on-hand
and capacity under the revolver provides us with approximately $80 million in available cash."
"ANI Pharmaceuticals is a valued client of Citizens Bank. Our Healthcare Corporate Banking and Capital Markets team has
continued to provide ANI with strategic insight and capital support, enabling them to reach their long-term potential," said
Daniel K. Fitzpatrick, Executive Vice President and Head of National Industry Verticals at
Citizens Bank.
