GRAPEVINE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Southland Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SLND and SLND WS) (“Southland”), a leading provider of specialized infrastructure construction services, today announced the closing of a new $160.0 million senior secured term loan facility with Callodine Commercial Finance, LLC. The new facility consists of a $140.0 million initial draw term loan and a $20.0 million committed delayed draw term loan, which are due in 2028. The delayed draw is a committed facility in which Southland may request all or a portion of the delayed draw to be available to the company.

“This new credit facility significantly strengthens Southland’s balance sheet, while offering ample financial flexibility as we execute on our plan and continue to pursue the great opportunities in our core markets.”

From the initial total term loan proceeds of $140.0 million, approximately $96.0 million was used to refinance existing indebtedness, $37.8 million will be available for general corporate purposes, and the remaining will cover costs and expenses related to the transaction. Borrowings from the new facility were used to refinance Southland’s existing revolving credit facility balance in full and certain equipment notes. Concurrently with the closing, Southland terminated its previously existing revolving credit facility.

Southland’s President & Chief Executive Officer, Frank Renda, said, “This new credit facility significantly strengthens Southland’s balance sheet, while offering ample financial flexibility as we execute on our plan and continue to pursue the great opportunities in our core markets.”
