The new credit facility provides for a $70 million revolving line of credit and includes a $10 million letter of credit sub-facility. Borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest at rates based on the prime rate and LIBOR plus variable margins, under which applicable interest rates currently range from 5.75% to 6.25% per annum. Borrowings will be guaranteed by Finisar's U.S. subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of Finisar and its U.S. subsidiaries. The credit facility matures four years following the closing date, subject to certain conditions. The Company's ability to borrow under the credit facility is tied to the balance of its qualified accounts receivable and certain assets located in the United States. The credit facility also contains both affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants requiring Finisar to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit facility remains subject to various closing conditions. These conditions are expected to be satisfied, and the closing is expected to take place, by the end of October 2009. Once in place, the new credit facility will replace Finisar's existing $45 million credit facility with another bank. Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR) is a global technology leader for fiber optic subsystems and network test systems that enable high-speed voice, video and data communications for networking, storage, wireless, and cable TV applications. For more than 20 years, Finisar has provided critical optics technologies to system manufacturers to meet the increasing demands for network bandwidth and storage.
