MONTREAL, Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Haivision Systems Inc. ("Haivision") (TSX: HAI), a leading global provider of mission-critical, real-time video streaming and networking solutions, today announced that the company has entered into a three-year credit agreement providing for a new revolving line credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $35 million with Bank of Montreal.  The revolving facility is for general working capital, general corporate requirements and financing for acquisitions.

The revolving facility also provides access to additional financing of $25 million on an uncommitted basis through an accordion provision under the same terms, bringing the total financing capacity of the facilities to $60 million. The credit agreement provides for interest at a floating rate by reference to the Canadian prime rate, the US prime rate, the CDOR rate and/or bankers' acceptance rate. 

We are very pleased to announce the closing of our new revolving credit facility with Bank of Montreal," said Mirko Wicha, CEO Haivision.
