Ford Seeks $12 Billion Credit Line Expansion

Ford Glass House

In anticipation of heavy spending this year and beyond, Ford is seeking a line of credit expansion totaling $12 billion.

Bloomberg reports the line of credit will consist of a $9 billion revolving loan for a term of five years — which can be borrowed again once repaid — augmented by a $3 billion financing pact set to expire within three years of issuance. The Blue Oval may pay 1.5 percentage points for the line expansion, which is more than the three-month LIBOR rate on both items meant to replace a $10.7 billion credit line expiring in 2017.

Funding for the line is being led by JPMorgan Chase, helping to drive the heavy spending Ford anticipates this year as more new models — such as the new Mustang and F-150 — roll off the assembly line.
