WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2006--Triumph Group, Inc.
(NYSE:TGI) today announced an amendment to its existing revolving
credit agreement which increased the size, modified the fee structure
and extended the term.
The amendment increased the company's unsecured revolving credit
facility from $250,000,000 to $350,000,000 and also extended the term
of the credit facility by one year, through June 30, 2011. The
interest rate on the credit facility fluctuates between LIBOR plus
