Armtec Completes $170M Refinancing

Armtec Infrastructure Inc.'s (TSX:ARF; ARF.DB) operating subsidiary, Armtec Holdings Limited (“Armtec” or the “Company”) completed a refinancing of its existing credit facilities with a senior secured loan facility that comprised a $60 million revolving asset based loan led by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and a $110 million term loan facility with Brookfield Capital Partners Fund III LP.
