PLYMOUTH, Mich. and ROLLE, Switzerland, Jan. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Garrett Motion Inc. (Nasdaq: GTX) ("Garrett" or the "Company"), a leading differentiated automotive technology provider, today announced that it has successfully refinanced its existing $692 million term loan, and refinanced and upsized its existing $600 million revolving credit facility to $630 million. Borrowings under each of the new facilities will initially bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 225 basis points per annum, which represents a 50-basis point reduction from the existing facilities. The new term loan will mature in 2032, effectively extending the maturity of the Company's existing term loan by approximately four years, and the new revolving credit facility will mature in 2030, effectively extending the maturity date of the Company’s existing revolving credit facility by approximately two years.

“We are pleased to have successfully completed this refinancing, which significantly reduces our interest expense and extends our debt maturity profile,” said Garrett President and CEO, Olivier Rabiller. “The strong market demand for our offering reflects confidence in Garrett’s robust credit profile and proven ability to generate industry-leading free cash flow. With this refinancing and our strategic note issuance last May, we have strengthened our financial position, giving us greater flexibility to invest in innovation, expand our portfolio, and deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”
