New Facility Maintains Strong Liquidity and Increases Financial Flexibility

G&K Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: GKSR) has completed a $300 million, three-year revolving credit facility. The new facility, which will mature in July 2012, replaces the company’s previous credit facility which was scheduled to mature in August 2010. At closing, the company expects to draw down approximately fifty percent of this credit facility, which is consistent with the borrowing level under the previous credit facility and provides over $150 million of available liquidity.

“Our objective in pursuing the new credit facility was to retain a strong level of financial flexibility in this tough economic environment and position G&K to capture future growth opportunities as the economy recovers,” said Jeffrey Wright, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Executing this credit facility at market favorable terms during very difficult economic conditions and uncertain credit markets reflects our excellent cash flow, solid business model, strong management team and conservative credit profile. This new credit facility provides substantial liquidity and additional financial flexibility and reflects the strong relationships we have with our banking partners.”

A copy of the Credit Agreement has been filed under Form 8-K.
