Eddie Bauer Holdings, Inc. announced that it has made a voluntary prepayment of $20 million on the existing term loan facility. The company is currently in compliance with all financial covenants under the Term Loan, even without giving effect to the voluntary prepayment.
Marv Toland, CFO, commented, “We expect to be in compliance with our financial covenants through the fourth quarter of 2007, even without this prepayment. We believe that the voluntary prepayment from cash on hand provides us with additional operating flexibility to manage the business while remaining in compliance with loan covenants.”
