Houlihan Lokey expands credit facility
Houlihan Lokey amended its $100 million revolving credit facility on August 19, 2025, boosting it to $150 million while trimming the SOFR margin to 0.95% from 1.00%, slashing the commitment fee to 0.15% from 0.30%, and pushing maturity to August 19, 2030. The deal scraps the minimum EBITDA covenant, loosens other restrictions, and welcomes PNC Bank as a new lender alongside Bank of America. Houlihan Lokey Americas (Holdings) LLC joins as a guarantor. This upgrade bolsters liquidity and flexibility amid steady growth, yet hinges on no material adverse changes since March 31, 2025.
