BILLERICA, Mass., May 3, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTG) today announced that it has entered into discussions with Wells Fargo Bank NA, the agent for the lenders under its amended and restated Credit Agreement dated March 2, 2009, in order to reduce the size of the revolving credit commitment amount from $121.7 million to $60 million. Entegris does not expect significant changes to the cash flow leverage ratio or fixed charge coverage ratio covenants of the Credit Agreement as a result of these discussions. The Credit Agreement would continue to be secured and would continue to mature on November 1, 2011.

Gregory Graves, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said: "As previously announced, we expect to completely repay all outstanding amounts under the credit facility by the end of the third quarter of this year. Based on current business trends, we no longer need such a large credit commitment and do not want to pay the fees associated with that level of commitment. We do not anticipate needing to borrow under the Credit Agreement after we have paid off our outstanding balances."
