ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT), a leading global business payments company, today announced that it successfully amended its pro-rata credit facility, increasing the overall facility size from $4.01 billion to $4.5 billion due to high demand and extending the maturity to a new 5-year term of June 2027.
The term loan A was increased from $2.72 billion to $3 billion and the revolving credit facility was increased from $1.285 billion to $1.5 billion.
