Navistar International Corporation

today announced that it is pursuing an amendment to the $1 billion senior secured term loan facility of Navistar, Inc. The term loan amendment is expected to include an interest rate repricing, the extension of the maturity date from July 16, 2014 to August 17, 2017 and amendments to certain covenants to provide the company with additional operating flexibility.

The proposed amendment of the term loan is subject to lender consent, the company's issuance of unsecured debt and other conditions, and may not occur as described or at all. The company intends to hold a bank call with lenders on March 20, 2013 to discuss the proposed amendments to the term loan.
