BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2019--&nbsp;Cross Country
 Healthcare, Inc.&nbsp;(Nasdaq: CCRN) today announced the Company entered into
 a new&nbsp;$120 million&nbsp;senior secured asset-based credit facility (ABL)
 replacing its prior credit facility. The initial amounts drawn on the new ABL
 included funds to repay its outstanding borrowings of&nbsp;$75.4
 million&nbsp;under its prior credit facility and for the payment of fees,
 expenses, and accrued interest, as well as to backstop and replace&nbsp;$20.6
 million&nbsp;in outstanding letters of credit. The remaining availability will
 be used for general corporate purposes. Additionally, the facility contains an
 uncommitted accordion provision to increase the amount of the facility by an
 additional&nbsp;$30.0 million. The ABL provides for a five-year revolving
 credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to&nbsp;$120.0
 million, including a subfacility for swing loans up to&nbsp;$15.0
 million&nbsp;and a&nbsp;$35.0 million&nbsp;sublimit for standby letters of
 credit. The ABL is subject to certain covenants and other conditions customary
 for agreements of this nature.



 &quot;We are pleased to partner with our new lenders,&nbsp;Wells
 Fargo&nbsp;and&nbsp;PNC Bank N.A., both industry leaders who have shown a
 breadth of knowledge and understanding of our company and our industry,&quot;
 said&nbsp;Kevin C. Clark, President and Chief Executive Officer. &quot;We
 believe this new credit facility is more cost effective and provides greater
 flexibility to pursue growth, both organically through the strategic
 initiatives we have previously announced and through potential complementary
 acquisitions as we work to deliver value to our shareholders.&rdquo;



 The foregoing is only a summary, is not necessarily complete, and is qualified
 by the full text of the loan agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the
 Company&#39;s Current Report on Form 8-K filed earlier today.
