NEW YORK (AP) -- YRC Worldwide Inc. said Monday it has amended a $950 million credit agreement with lenders, another critical step in the company's struggle to avoid a possible bankruptcy filing.
The news sent shares soaring in aftermarket trading. The stock gained 33 cents, or 14.8 percent, to $2.56. It lost 14 cents, or 5.9 percent, in the regular session to close at $2.23.
The company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that JPMorgan Chase Bank, among other lenders, will continue to provide YRC with a $950 million senior revolving credit facility, including portions available for borrowing and for letters of credit, and a senior term loan of about $111.5 million.
The credit agreement amendment suspends the requirement that the company maintain liquidity of $100 million at all times.
The company has amended other credit agreements, sold real estate, cut thousands of jobs and trimmed wages among existing workers to stay afloat.
