PPHC Announces New $105 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility
PPHC enters $105M five-year secured credit facility ($65M term loan, $40M revolver) to refinance $39.8M debt and fund Reevemark deal.
What this release says
PPHC has signed a new $105 million senior secured credit facility with a U.S. commercial bank, made up of a $65 million term loan and a $40 million revolving facility. The release says the facility will refinance existing borrowings, fund an immediate drawdown for the initial cash consideration of the Reevemark LLC acquisition, and add capacity for working capital. For shareholders, the company plans to syndicate the facility to $150 million, a step expected to close in January 2027 on a best-efforts basis, so the larger size is not yet assured.

Negative for shareholders
- The company will borrow secured debt against substantially all of its assets, with a blanket lien over those assets.
- Interest is set at SOFR plus 185 to 230 basis points, depending on net leverage, so borrowing costs will depend on leverage levels.
- Expansion to $150 million depends on syndication and is not guaranteed, and the accordion option needs lender approval.
