The new credit facility is established by a syndicate of banks for which CDF acts as administrative agent and consists of a discretionary senior secured floorplan facility in favor of the Borrowers in the aggregate principal amount of up to $375 million, an increase from $275 million, together with a sublimit for a revolving credit facility for up to $100 million.  The aggregate amount of principal available under the new credit facility is subject to a borrowing base based upon, among other things, the Borrowers’ accounts receivable and inventory, each pursuant to a formula and subject to certain reserves.
