Morgantown, W.Va., June 26 – Wabco Holdings Inc. entered into an agreement on June 25 amending and restating its existing $400 million five-year multicurrency senior unsecured revolving credit facility, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Wabco restated the credit facility to increase the maximum aggregate principal amount to $600 million.

The company may request a further increase of up to $250 million.

Loans may be denominated in U.S. dollars, euros, Singapore dollars or Hong Kong dollars or other approved currencies.
