CLEVELAND, May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CBIZ, Inc., (NYSE: CBZ) today announced the expansion of its unsecured credit facility from $400 million to $600 million. Through the amended agreement, the credit facility maturity date is extended to five years and includes an accordion feature that permits lenders to extend an additional $200 million at a later date. Other amendments to the terms of the agreement provide additional flexibility to support the continued growth of the business.
"In 2021, CBIZ saw exceptional growth in revenue and that momentum has continued through the first quarter of this year. Our growth is the result of the substantial strategic investments that we have made in our people, systems, processes and acquisitions," said Jerry Grisko, President and CEO of CBIZ. "These investments enable us to bring incredible value to our team and to our clients. Our new and expanded credit facility will allow us to continue to invest and fuel the future growth of our business."
"We value the support of our banking partners and we are pleased to achieve the increased size and flexibility of the amended credit facility," added Ware Grove, Chief Financial Officer. "Since the beginning of 2020, we have made 14 strategic acquisitions and have repurchased over 5.5 million shares, or about 10 percent of shares outstanding, of our common stock. Our strong balance sheet, earnings and cash flow generated by our business combined with the newly upsized credit facility will accelerate the strategic deployment of capital in support of continued growth."
