ARRAY Technologies, a global provider of solar tracking technology, has increased its revolving credit facility from $166 million to $370 million and extended the maturity date from October 2028 to February 2031. The amended facility includes up to $250 million available for letters of credit. Goldman Sachs Bank USA served as lead arranger and administrative agent, with participation from JP Morgan, Wells Fargo Securities, PNC Capital Markets and HSBC Bank USA. The company welcomed three new lenders to its syndicate. The enhanced facility will support operational execution, working capital needs and global growth initiatives. Chief financial officer Keith Jennings said the expansion demonstrates lender confidence in the company's strategy and position as a global leader in utility-scale solar.
Royal Bank of Canada is investing up to $1 billion in a new Canadian growth fund aimed at supporting domestic businesses and strengthening the country's economy. The fund will focus on critical sectors including defence and infrastructure. RBC estimates Canada requires $1.8 trillion in capital over the next decade. The initiative is designed to encourage Canadian entrepreneurs to seek funding domestically rather than abroad, whilst positioning Canada as a top investment destination. The bank's strategic focus on sectors vital to national security and long-term prosperity could attract additional investment in these areas. The move signals RBC's confidence in Canada's economic potential and aims to foster a more self-reliant business environment.
