FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ:INVE), a global provider of physical security and secure identification, has entered into an agreement to amend its existing loan and security agreement with East West Bank.

The original agreement entered into on February 8, 2017 provided for a $10 million asset-backed line-of-credit agreement. Given Identiv’s stronger balance sheet position and improved financial performance since then, the parties have agreed to amend the original agreement with improved financing terms. The total facility has increased from a $10 million asset-backed line-of-credit facility to a $12 million line-of-credit facility. Capital availability has been improved through the addition of a $3 million non-formula line of credit sublimit. The annual interest rate was reduced from prime rate plus 2.0% to prime rate plus 1.0%. In addition, financial covenants under the agreement have been amended and certain reporting requirements have been streamlined.

Despite the amendment, there is no change to the original term of the facility. The Company will file an 8-K further describing the details of this amendment.

“East West Bank has been a great partner of ours, displaying a commitment to the technology sector and, more specifically, to our long-term growth and success,” said Sandra Wallach, Identiv’s CFO. “We believe entering into this amendment not only underscores the improved financial position of the company and reduces the administrative burden, but also provides us with additional financial flexibility and sprint capacity to further execute on our organic and inorganic growth strategy.”
