VICTOR, N.Y., July 16, 2015 – Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B), a leading beverage alcohol company announced today that it has entered into an amendment to its senior credit facility. The amendment includes:

The maturity date of these facilities will be extended to July 16, 2020. The U.S. Term A-1 loan facility amount of $241.9 million remains the same with an extended maturity of July 16, 2021.

The amendment provides for a reduction in borrowing rates and modifies certain financial and other covenants and includes the suspension of collateral and certain covenants if the company receives an Investment Grade Rating from both S&P and Moody’s.

be used to fund a portion of the recently announced acquisition of the Meiomi wine brand.

“Given the recent growth in our business and favorable market conditions, it is an opportune time for us to appropriately size our credit agreement to provide future financial flexibility,” said David Klein, chief financial officer, Constellation Brands. “The amended credit agreement and our expected strong operating cash flow generation should provide ample liquidity for Constellation’s anticipated capital needs into the foreseeable future. Our goal is to continue to target a leverage ratio of three to four times debt to comparable basis EBITDA.”
