NORCROSS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2012--
FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a leading independent global
provider of fuel cards and workforce payment products to businesses,
today announced that on November 6, 2012, it increased the size of its
loan facilities by $500 million. The upsized credit facility totals $1.4
billion and consists of a $550 million term loan facility and an $850
million revolving credit facility, with an option to increase the
facility by an additional $250 million. The interest rates on the

of its significant legacy investors.
“With the increased credit facility, we currently have plenty of dry
powder, approximately $1 billion of liquidity, to continue to pursue our
strategy of acquiring businesses that have good business models in
attractive geographies and to execute other corporate strategies,” said
Eric Dey, chief financial officer, FleetCor Technologies, Inc.
