The amended senior secured credit facilities, which closed on September 24, 2014, include a $625 million term loan B facility and $894 million in revolving credit commitments. Through this transaction, Alpha extended the maturity of 75% of previous revolving credit facility commitments, reduced the amount of these extended commitments by 25% and modified the financial covenants.
