“We are very pleased with the results of the amendment, extension to our revolving credit facility and new term loan,” Ford US Vice President and Treasurer, Mr Neil Schloss, said. “We appreciate the support of our banking partners.”


Ford’s lenders also lowered the total amount of possible credit available to Ford by as much as 25 per cent after the move.
