ALHAMBRA, Calif., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. ("ApolloMed," and together with its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, the "Company") (NASDAQ: AMEH), a leading physician-centric, technology-powered healthcare company focused on enabling providers in the successful delivery of value-based care, today announced that on June 16, 2021, it completed the successful refinancing of its existing term loan and revolving credit facility with a new five-year revolving credit facility of $400.0 million, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $25.0 million and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million.

Available cash of $58.7 million and a portion of the new revolving credit facility were used to pay off the Company's existing and remaining $175.8 million term loan and $60.0 million drawn on the prior revolving credit facility maturing in September 2024. The new revolving credit facility will also be used to finance future acquisitions and investments and provide for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. Any amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25%-2.5% or a base rate plus 0.25%-1.5% (determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company's leverage ratio).

Kenneth Sim, M.D., Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of ApolloMed, stated, "We are pleased to have completed this debt refinancing as we take proactive steps to enhance our ability to invest in growth while reducing our annual interest rate spread by 50 basis points on the initial $180.0 million drawdown and increasing our overall financial flexibility with respect to covenants and liquidity. This refinancing puts ApolloMed in a more advantageous position as we look to accelerate the growth of our business in 2021 and drive increasing value to shareholders."
