NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

EMCOR Group, Inc. EME, a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, industrial energy infrastructure, and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses, today announced that it had entered into a $1.3 billion credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Bank of Montreal, as Agent, and BMO Capital Markets Corp., Bank of America Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., U.S. Bank National Association, and Citizen's Bank, N.A. as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners.

The credit agreement is comprised of a $900 million revolving credit facility and a $400 million term loan.

The loans under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of EMCOR and its subsidiaries.

Mark Pompa, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of EMCOR, stated, "We are pleased to announce the completion of our new credit agreement which provides incremental liquidity as well as extends our debt maturities. Most importantly, it provides us with enhanced flexibility to pursue all strategic growth opportunities.
