ATEC Refinances Existing Debt with Inaugural Bank Facility

ATEC Refinances Existing Debt with Inaugural Bank Facility

CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATEC), a spine-focused provider of innovative solutions dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery, today announced it has entered into a new credit facility, including a $125 million revolving credit facility and $175 million Term Loan A, led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and TD Securities (USA) LLC. This transaction represents ATEC’s inaugural syndicated bank facility and reflects the Company’s strong operating performance and continued progression to a more scaled and profitable financial profile.

The new facility refinances the Company’s existing debt, including its prior term loan and asset-based lending facilities with Braidwell LP, Pharmakon Advisors LP, and MidCap Financial Trust, simplifies its capital structure, reduces borrowing costs, and extends maturities to 2031. At close, the facility carries an interest rate of SOFR plus 275 basis points and is expected to reduce interest expense by more than $6 million annually, with the potential to generate more than $35 million of savings over the life of the facility. The new facility also includes an incremental $150 million accordion feature, providing additional flexibility as the Company grows.

“This transaction marks an important step in the improvement of our capital structure,” said Todd Koning, Chief Financial Officer. “By lowering our cost of capital, extending our maturity profile, and partnering with a leading bank syndicate, we have strengthened our financial foundation. This new facility reflects the maturation of our business and positions us with a more scalable and flexible financing structure as we continue to grow.”

“We appreciate the support of our prior lending partners, Braidwell, Pharmakon, and MidCap, who have been important contributors to ATEC’s growth,” added Koning.

Additional information regarding the credit facility, including a copy of the credit agreement, will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
