Financing and Liquidity
- Arcosa entered into a 364-day revolving credit facility with commitments of $150.0 million and an outside maturity date of March 25, 2022.
- The facility is expected to be used only if the StonePoint acquisition closes before the proposed notes offering.
- Borrowing margins range from 1.25% to 2.00% over LIBOR or an alternate base rate; the initial borrowing rate is LIBOR plus 1.50%.
- A commitment fee applies to unused capacity, ranging from 0.20% to 0.35%; the initial rate is 0.25%.
- Arcosa’s material domestic subsidiaries guaranteed obligations under the facility.
- The facility contains covenants and events of default substantially similar to those in Arcosa’s existing senior credit facility.
- Arcosa announced a proposed offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029. The filing does not provide the notes’ interest rate, issue price, or final offering terms.
Material Changes and Unusual Items

Investor Verification Items
