Summary
TransDigm Group Inc. (TDG) announced an increase in its borrowing capacity under its trade accounts receivable securitization facility on September 11, 2017. The facility's borrowing limit was raised from $200 million to $300 million. This strategic move follows a prior amendment in July 2017 that extended the facility's maturity date to July 31, 2018, and increased the overall borrowing capacity to $300 million.
