Vonage Refinancing Eliminates Need for Public Ratings

Vonage Holdings Corp. VG announced today that as a result of the full repayment of its institutional term loan last week, the ratings provided by Moody's and Standard and Poor's are no longer necessary. The most recent refinancing was the result of consistently strong financial results and is the second successful refinancing in the last eight months. Given that public ratings are no longer necessary, Moody's announced that it has withdrawn the ratings assigned to Vonage Holdings Corp. The discontinuance in ratings does not reflect a review by Moody's of Vonage's financial strength or outlook. On July 29, 2011, the Company completed the refinancing of its term loan, entering into a $120 million credit facility including an $85 million, three-year loan and a $35 million revolver bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%. This debt replaces the prior $200 million facility which carried interest of LIBOR plus 8% with a 1.75% LIBOR floor. This new facility provided by a group of commercial banks led by JP Morgan results in annual interest expense savings of approximately $43 million from 2010.
