INDIANAPOLIS, June 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Celadon Group, Inc. ("Celadon," the "Company," "we," or "us") (OTCPink: CGIP) announced today that it has entered into an Eighteenth Amendment to its credit facility to extend the maturity date and provide additional liquidity.

Eighteenth Amendment
On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into an Eighteenth Amendment to its credit facility.  The purpose of the amendment is to provide the Company with additional liquidity and support ongoing operations in a "business as usual" mode.  The Company continues to evaluate a range of financial and strategic alternatives with a goal of maximizing repayment of its credit facility obligations (a "Repayment Transaction") during the extension period. The Company has received multiple preliminary proposals for Repayment Transactions, reflecting varying refinancing and other structures, each subject to customary conditions including due diligence and documentation.

The amendment contains the following key terms:

• Maturity date extended to July 31, 2019.
• Maximum outstanding amount of $122.9 million, subject to an increase of up to $124.9 million upon the written consent of the required lenders and maximum borrowing of $94.0 million, subject to an increase of up to $96.0 million upon the written consent of the required lenders.
• Continued mandatory weekly cash budget through July 31. The budget and borrowing limit are designed to permit the Company to operate in the ordinary course of business.

The Company will provide additional information concerning the credit facility amendment on a Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
