Allegro (WA:ALEP) MicroSystems, Inc. (ALGM), a semiconductor and related devices manufacturer with a market capitalization of $4.36 billion, has announced the allocation of a $375 million U.S. dollar-denominated first lien term facility, which is set to mature in October 2030.
This financial move, disclosed on Thursday, is intended to refinance the company's existing term loans in full. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently operates with a moderate level of debt, maintaining strong liquidity positions.
The company, based in Manchester, New Hampshire, stated that the interest rate margin for the term loans is expected to be 2.0% for loans bearing interest at a rate based on the secured overnight financing rate, and 1.0% for loans bearing interest at the base rate.
The refinancing and repricing facility is subject to customary conditions and is anticipated to close in February 2025. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 4.22, with liquid assets well exceeding short-term obligations.
