Presidio, Inc. Completes New $240 Million Financing Package

Presidio Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joel Schleicher stated, "This three-plus-year facility significantly increases our financial flexibility, allowing Presidio to take advantage of strategic acquisition opportunities and to fund our continuing internal expansion. Presidio has experienced exceptional growth, both organically and through acquisition, and built off of our strong relationships with our key vendor and financial partners. The new receivable securitization vehicle is more cost-effective than traditional funding and is scalable to serve the evolving and growing needs of the business."

The accounts receivable securitization was provided by Market Street Funding LLC, PNC's commercial paper conduit, and the revolving credit facility was arranged by PNC Capital Markets and JP Morgan Securities.

"The complexity of this financing package was unique for a mid-size company like Presidio," said Joseph Meterchick, senior vice president of PNC's corporate banking. "The securitized debt has a lower interest rate cost, and it increases the company's liquidity and diversifies its funding sources."

Over the past five years, Presidio has focused on building a breadth of professional services and engineering skills in support of the planning, design, integration, operation, and optimization of complex enterprise solutions such as unified communications, advanced network transport, data and storage management, network security and IP infrastructure systems.

According to Paul Fletcher, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Presidio, the new financing package reflects Presidio's continued strong operating and financial performance. "We are pleased by the support and confidence that the banking community has placed in Presidio, especially in light of today's difficult credit markets," said Fletcher.
