CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX FLOW, Inc. FLOW today announced that it has completed an amendment to its US$1.35 billion senior secured credit facilities which increases the maximum consolidated leverage ratio for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to 4.0x.

In connection with the increased leverage ratio, SPX FLOW has agreed to pledge certain assets as collateral under the agreement.

We are very appreciative of the support from our lenders, including Bank of America Merrill Lynch who acted as lead bank in arranging the amended agreement."

"We believe we are in a stable financial position with adequate liquidity and strong free cash flow generation expected over the balance of the year. Furthermore, we plan to continue to invest in our realignment program and organic growth initiatives which we expect to drive value for our customers, shareholders and other business partners," Michael concluded.
