Group 1 Automotive extends and upsizes revolving credit facility to $3.5 billion
Group 1 Automotive entered into an amended and restated five-year revolving credit facility effective May 30, 2025, with 18 lenders and a total commitment of $3.5 billion, up $1.0 billion and extended to May 30, 2030. The facility can be expanded to $4.5 billion with lender approval, and it is secured by essentially all of the company's personal property, including vehicle inventory, which matters to shareholders because it sets the terms of the company's main borrowing capacity.

- Maturity extended to May 30, 2030; the facility can be increased to a maximum of $4.5 billion.
- Acquisition line bears SOFR plus 100 to 200 basis points based on leverage ratio; floorplan line bears SOFR plus 110 basis points for new vehicles and 140 basis points for used vehicles.
- Credit agreement includes covenants restricting asset sales, additional debt and mergers, and cross-default provisions that could require immediate repayment.
