AAR Corp announced today that it has amended its senior, unsecured credit agreement. The amendment increases the initial limit under the facility from $400 million to $580 million, and can be increased to $680 million under certain circumstances.  All pricing terms under the agreement were left unchanged and certain covenants under the facility were modified to provide the Company greater flexibility.

“The amended agreement positions the Company to invest and further capitalize on growth opportunities in the markets we serve,” said Rick Poulton, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for AAR CORP. “We are very pleased that our bank team has stepped up with such a strong vote of confidence in the Company through this up-sizing and has provided us with significant financial flexibility over the remaining four-and-a-half year term of the agreement.”
