HARMAN Closes New Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

HARMAN International Industries, Incorporated (NYSE:HAR), the premier audio, visual, infotainment and enterprise automation group, today announced the closing of a five-year senior unsecured credit facility that will provide the Company with $1.2 billion in liquidity, a 14 percent increase over its previous $1.05 billion credit facility.

The new facility is comprised of a $1.2 billion revolving line of credit. At closing, the Company drew down under the new revolving line of credit to refinance its outstanding term loan and outstanding debt balances, including debt for several recently announced acquisitions, under its previous credit facility.

“We are pleased to enter into this new credit agreement, which will enhance our liquidity and support the expansion of our business as we grow our capabilities and technology pipeline,” said Dinesh Paliwal, Chairman, President, and CEO of HARMAN. “A portion will support the financing of the acquisitions of Symphony Teleca and Redbend, which will further position HARMAN for success in the software and services businesses.”

The Company’s bank group was led by JP Morgan.
