TORONTO, Aug. 18, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ:TCX) (TSX:TC) today announced that it has entered into a new, syndicated five-year secured credit agreement for up to US$75 million, inclusive of a $15 million accordion facility (the “2016 Credit Facility”), with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) and Royal Bank of Canada (collectively, the “Lenders”). The 2016 Credit Facility will be used to support share repurchases, acquisitions and capital expenditures associated with the Company’s Fiber-to-the-Home program, as well as general working capital and general corporate requirements.
