FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cogeco Cable Inc. secures a five-year $750 million credit facility
Montréal, November 22, 2011 – Cogeco Cable Inc. (TSX: CCA) ("Cogeco Cable") today
announced that it renewed its credit agreement for a $750 million credit facility, with an option to
increase to a total amount of up to $1 billion, subject to lenders’ participation, in the form of a five-
year Term Revolving Facility.
The renewed Term Revolving Facility was arranged by a group of financial institutions led by
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Bank of Montreal. The renewed Term Revolving Facility
will mature on November 22, 2016, but may be extended by additional one-year periods on an
annual basis, subject to lenders’ approval. The Term Revolving Facility is indirectly secured by a
first priority fixed and floating charge on substantially all present and future real and personal
property and undertaking of every nature and kind of the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries,
and provides for certain permitted encumbrances, including purchased money obligations, existing
funded obligations and charges granted by any subsidiary prior to the date when it becomes a
subsidiary, subject to a maximum amount.
"The fact that Cogeco Cable renewed this facility for a five-year period highlights the banking
syndicate’s support for our strategy, and demonstrates our sound financial position," said Louis
Audet, President and CEO of Cogeco Cable.
The renewed Term Revolving Facility extends Cogeco Cable’s borrowing flexibility and provides
continued liquidity within a strong capital structure. The facility will be used for general corporate
purposes and to facilitate growth opportunities.
