MATTOON, Ill. -- 

Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL) today announced it has secured and closed on an incremental $150 million term loan that is fungible with the Company’s existing First Lien Term Loan B with maturities due October 2027.

The terms of the incremental term loan facility are substantially similar to those relating to the Company's existing term loan facility, except with respect to issue price. The loans under the incremental term loan facility bear interest at a rate of equal to LIBOR plus of 4.75% per annum with a 1.0% LIBOR floor.

"We’re very pleased to have secured the additional financing on attractive terms and appreciate the support of key lenders that placed the proceeds," said Steve Childers, chief financial officer of Consolidated Communications. "We are operating from a position of financial strength, with increased liquidity and a fully funded growth plan to accelerate our fiber builds.”

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Goldman Sachs Bank, USA, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. served as lead arrangers and book runners for the financing.
