RadioShack Corp.

announced today that it has closed a new $100 million term loan through Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo & Company

. The loan is secured by a second lien on the inventory and accounts receivable and other specific assets. The key terms of the transaction include a five-year term, an interest rate of 11% and an optional prepayment structure that allows for $10 million each year without a premium or in entirety with a prepayment penalty. "We are pleased to have closed on this new term loan with Wells Fargo Capital Finance.
