HLS Therapeutics Announces New Credit Agreement
TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - HLS Therapeutics Inc. ("HLS" or the "Company") (TSX: HLS), a pharmaceutical company focusing on addressing unmet needs in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular disease, announces that the company has entered into a new Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with National Bank of Canada ("National Bank") as administrative agent which provides for committed credit facilities denominated in Canadian dollars of up to CAD $107 million (USD ~$77.5 million). National Bank serves as administrative agent and lead arranger, with the Toronto-Dominion Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, and Innovation Federal Credit Union as syndicate members. The Agreement replaced HLS's credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. which had a maturity date of August 11, 2026. On closing, the proceeds from the new term facility were used to repay the Company's existing credit agreement in full. The new Agreement has a maturity date of August 19, 2029. The Agreement consists of a CAD $79 million term credit facility, a CAD $14 million delayed draw facility and a CAD $14 million revolving credit facility. In addition, HLS can increase facilities further through an uncommitted CAD $40 million accordion facility (subject to Lender agreement). Interest on the Agreement accrues at a rate per month equal to the sum of the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus a range of 2.25% to 3.50% depending on the leverage ratio of the Company at the time. Interest rate spreads are 25-50 basis points below the rate in the Company's prior credit agreement, providing improved cash flow through reduced interest expense. The debt is denominated in Canadian dollars, creating a natural currency hedge against the Company's predominantly Canadian operations. In addition to the interest rate spread savings detailed above, HLS will achieve further interest rate savings in excess of 100 basis points based on current market interest rates, as a result of the differential between US dollar and Canadian dollar base rates. "We are pleased to finalize this new credit agreement with National Bank and our syndicate partners, which reflects their confidence in our outlook," said John Hanna, CFO of HLS Therapeutics. "The Agreement delivers improved terms that reflect our strengthened financial position and provides enhanced financial flexibility and cash flow to pursue our capital allocation priorities such as share buybacks and portfolio expansion." ABOUT HLS THERAPEUTICS INC. Formed in 2015, HLS is a pharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition and commercialization of late-stage development, commercial stage promoted and established branded pharmaceutical products in the North American markets. HLS's focus is on products targeting the central nervous system and cardiovascular therapeutic areas.
