09:28 AM EDT, 04/17/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Children's Place (PLCE) said Wednesday it signed a financing agreement with majority shareholder Mithaq Capital for a new $90 million unsecured term loan, which will be funded no later than Friday.
The company's shares were rising 38% in recent premarket activity.
Children's Place said that it will not pursue a previously announced loan with 1903P Loan Agent because the new financing with Mithaq will boost its liquidity position on better terms.
Net proceeds will be used to repay a $50 million loan under an amended and restated credit agreement from May 2019, the company said. Proceeds will also be used to decrease a portion of accounts payable balances and for other general corporate purposes, it said.
