CALGARY, June 19 /CNW/ - Advantage Energy Income Fund ("Advantage" or
"the Fund") (AVN.UN - TSX, AAV - NYSE) announced today that its lenders have
completed their review of its borrowing base and that Advantage has received
an extension of its credit facility (the "Credit Facilities"). The Credit
Facilities total $710 million comprised of a $20 million demand operating loan
facility, a $630 million extendible revolving credit facility and a $60
million liquidity facility. The Credit Facilities are provided by a syndicate
of financial institutions. Various borrowing options are available under the
Credit Facilities, including prime rate based advances, US base rate advances,
US dollar LIBOR advances and bankers' acceptances loans. The interest rates
applicable to the Credit Facilities are based on either prime rate, US base
rate, LIBOR or bankers' acceptance rates at the Fund's option, subject to
certain basis point or stamping fee adjustments ranging from 1.5% to 6.9%,
depending on the Trust's debt to cash flow ratio. The Credit Facilities are
secured by a $1 billion floating charge demand debenture, a general security
agreement and a subordination agreement from the Trust covering all assets and
cash flows. The amounts available to Advantage from time to time under the
Credit Facilities are based upon the borrowing base determined by the lenders
and which is redetermined on a semi-annual basis by those lenders. The
borrowing base constitutes a revolving facility for a 364 day term which is
extendible annually for a further 364 day revolving period, subject to a one
year term maturity as to lenders not agreeing to such annual extension, with
the next annual review anticipated to take place in June 2010. The $60 million
liquidity facility will, subject to renewal, expire on October 31, 2009. The
Credit Facilities contain standard commercial covenants for credit facilities
of this nature. The only financial covenant is a requirement for Advantage to
maintain a minimum cash flow to interest expense ratio of 3.5:1, determined on
a rolling four-quarter basis.
