– Provides non-dilutive financing flexibility and supplements strong balance sheet
Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRPT), the leader in precision genetic medicine for rare diseases, announced today that it has closed on a $600 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate.
"Sarepta's financial strength and the positive outlook for our business provide us with the flexibility to use non-dilutive financing by establishing a revolving credit facility. It supplements our strong balance sheet and allows for contingent liquidity as we execute our strategic plan to achieve our Sarepta 2030 objectives. Access to this instrument is a testament to our robust future cash and EBITDA growth trajectory and we were very pleased with the strong backing from the lenders during this process, which resulted in oversubscribed demand," stated Ian Estepan, executive vice president, chief financial officer, Sarepta Therapeutics.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as Administrative Agent and acted as Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner. The syndicate also includes Barclays Bank PLC, Citizens Bank, N.A., Goldman Sachs USA, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., Royal Bank of Canada, Fifth Third Bank, National Association, UBS AG, Stamford Branch and Bank of America. Additional information about the credit facility is contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2025.
