The Company announced it has entered into a new credit agreement with The Bank of Nova Scotia ("BNS" or the "Lender"), increasing the total credit facility size and credit availability, while also decreasing interest costs.
TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2021 /CNW/ - Think Research Corporation (TSXV: THNK) ("Think" or the "Company"), a company focused on transforming healthcare through digital health software solutions, today announced that it has entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with BNS that will replace its existing credit arrangements with National Bank of Canada. The new Credit Agreement includes a $22 million revolving credit facility, a $6 million revolving acquisition facility, and a $10 million uncommitted accordion that can be allocated to either facility at the Company's discretion.
The two-year committed Credit Agreement also includes an option to extend by an additional year.
The interest rate for the revolving credit facility is based on the Prime Rate + 1.00% or Bankers Acceptance Rates ("BA's) + 2.50%.

We believe this support reflects BNS's ongoing confidence in Think's growth and our ability to execute on future acquisitions that are highly synergistic and accretive."
