Electro Optic Systems Holdings (ASX:EOS) said it has finalized a AU$100 million two-year secured term loan facility previously disclosed on Jan. 12 to support growth and provide liquidity for working capital, and fund payments for the acquisition of MARSS, according to a Monday Australian bourse filing.

The company said the lender is a subsidiary of Washington H. Soul Pattinson (ASX:SOL) and the facility is a senior secured term loan ranking equally with its existing Export Finance Australia bond facility, maturing on Feb. 28, 2028, the filing added.

The company added that the facility is secured by customary all-asset security over certain EOS group entities, and the interest rate includes step-ups every three months over the term of the loan, with the average all-in interest rate on drawn amounts across the 24 months at 14.75%. There are no financial covenants, while other covenants are customary for a facility of this nature.

EOS may prepay the whole facility to Soul Patts and cancel it with ten business days' notice without penalty or fee, the filing added.
