In conjunction with the increases in availabilityabove, the $7 million currently drawn on the acquisition facility willbe added to the non-amortizing term facility and will result inDecisive having $15 million in dedicated acquisition financingavailable to fund future acquisitions. The potential fixed interestrate on the repositioned $7 million in non-amortizing term debt isexpected to be in-line with the current variable rate on theacquisition facility. The 6.25% on the currently drawn $21 million ofnon-amortizing term debt remains unchanged.

The renewal and extension of the credit agreementmaintains the committed term of the agreement at three years and alldrawn amounts now mature in October 2025.

Rick Torriero, Chief Financial Officer of Decisive,noted:

“We are very pleased to announcethe renewal, extension and increase of our credit facilities with CWB.They have been a great financial partner and this first annual renewaldemonstrates their commitment to working with Decisive to help usachieve our objectives. The agreement with CWB provides flexibility tofund growth in our existing operations as well as through acquisitionopportunities, and the non-amortizing nature of each our debtfacilities with them aligns very well with our overall business model.

We do intend to maintain our overall acquisition funding target at50% debt and 50% equity, however the increased availability on theacquisition line allows us to opportunistically fund acquisitions whenrequired and then look to the capital markets to rebalance our targetdebt and equity split . Eachof the acquisitions completed to date by Decisive have been under $15million, so having $15 million in dedicated revolving acquisitionfinancing available to us is a strong competitive advantage as we look toacquire businesses from ourhealthy and growing pipelineof potential targets.
