Accord Financial : Drives $25M Facility for Plastics Manufacturer

…Accord Financial Corp., one of the U.S. and Canada's leading independent finance companies ("Accord") (TSX: ACD), announces the closing of a $25 million credit facility to help a plastics manufacturer support new business contracts as well as complete a strategic business acquisition.

What started as an equipment finance opportunity quickly developed into a more substantial transaction with the need for a larger ABL facility and an opportunity for a strategic business acquisition. Accord engaged a key partner to help structure and fund the substantially increased commitment.

"The rapidly evolving transaction was quickly crafted thanks to Accord's deep understanding of the client's growth stage as well as their specialized equipment and bringing in the right partner to make it happen,"

The total facility included a revolving line of credit, equipment term loan and equipment lease. "Accord's flexibility and close partnership drove our success. We look forward to working together for many years in the future," said Wells.
