FactSet Research Systemsは、PNC Bankとの与信契約を修正し、満期を延長するとともに、リボルビング与信枠を10億ドルから15億ドルに拡大しました。改訂された契約では、3億7500万ドルのタームローンは維持されるものの、計画的な償却が撤廃され、最終満期が2029年8月28日に延長されます。一方、拡大されたリボルビング枠の満期は2031年8月28日となります。この変更により、FactSetのコミット借入能力が増加し、短期的な元本流出が減少しますが、同社は依然として高水準の負債を抱えています。また、この修正により、SONIAおよびSOFR借入に対する0.10%のクレジットスプレッド調整が撤廃され、金利コスト構造がわずかに改善されます。追加された柔軟性は、IrwinやLiquidityBookなどの買収資金や、GenAI製品とデータフィードへの継続的な投資を支援することを目的としており、同社は技術コストの上昇に対処しています。
