Top tier lending syndicate: National Bank of Canada (administrative agent), Royal Bank of Canada , and Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec.
$175 million overall facility with $100 million committed and an available $75 million accordion.
Fully revolving credit facility that can be utilized to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions.

Rick Torriero , Chief Financial Officer of Decisive, noted:
"We want to thank each member of our lending syndicate. They have been great partners and this first annual extension along with the extra flexibility provided by the increase in our leverage ratio demonstrates their commitment to working with Decisive to help us achieve our objectives. The overall facility provides us with ample liquidity to fund growth in our current operations as well as opportunistically fund acquisitions when required while then being able to look to the capital markets to rebalance to our targeted 50% debt and 50% equity funding split. From an M&A perspective, this credit facility gives us the ability to provide funding certainty to vendors, which differentiates us in the M&A markets we are focused in and, as a result, is strategically important in helping us achieve our growth objectives."
