Lund International Holding Company Announces Expansion of Credit Facility

Buford, GA – October 4, 2012 – Lund International Holding Company, a portfolio company of Highlander Partners, L.P., announced today that it expanded its existing senior credit facility with existing and new lenders. The proceeds are being used to retire all of the Company’s existing mezzanine debt, repurchase all of the equity of minority investor Chase Capital Corporation, pay a dividend to its remaining investors, and support a growth strategy comprised of both organic and acquisition-based initiatives. Commenting on the transaction, Jeff Hull, Lund’s Chairman and Highlander’s Managing Partner, said, “We are extremely pleased with the results of Lund and are very thankful to have partnered with Chase to acquire Lund in April 2011. Chase has been a very supportive partner for Highlander and Lund, and we hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future.” Hull added, “Even after completing this recapitalization, Lund has a lower leverage ratio today than when we acquired the Company last year.”

“Lund’s strong financial performance since Highlander acquired it in 2011 enabled us to reduce debt very quickly and as a result this recapitalization was made possible. We are excited about Lund’s growth prospects and continue to actively search for add-on acquisition opportunities. After expanding our senior credit facility, Lund is in a stronger financial position with ample liquidity to pursue acquisitions,” said Mitch Fogle, Lund’s President.
