Thomas Group Signs Credit Facility with Bank of America
Irving, Texas, August 18, 2004 Thomas Group, Inc. (TGIS.OB) today announced the signing of a new credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. This new facility replaces the Company’s former senior lender, Comerica Bank. Significant terms of the new credit facility include:
• $5.5 million revolving line of credit
• Matures August 21, 2006
• Interest at prime, or LIBOR+2.5%
• Advances based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable
Jim Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “This alliance with Bank of America culminates nineteen months of significant debt reduction for our Company. Since the end of 2002, we have reduced our bank debt over 70% and reduced all debt 60%. This new line of credit will enable us to fund more revenue growth and will give us the opportunity to pursue our business model of profitable growth with more confidence and flexibility. This flexibility will be particularly important as we expand existing business relationships and penetrate industry and governmental sectors not historically served by Thomas Group.”
