PITTSBURGH, April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) announced today the signing of a $600 million five-year credit agreement. This syndicated bank facility amends and restates Kennametal's prior loan agreement. It contains enhanced covenant adjustments relative to the company's amended 2010 agreement.

"We are very pleased with our banking partners' confidence in and support of Kennametal. This five-year agreement meaningfully extends our debt maturity profile and provides the funding stability and liquidity that we believe is an important part of the Kennametal strategy," commented Kennametal President and Chief Executive Officer Ron DeFeo. Kennametal intends to use these funds for general corporate purposes and to refinance the company's revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in April 2018.
