PORTLAND, OR, Feb 25, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Integra Telecom Inc., a provider of fiber-based, enterprise-grade
networking, communications and technology solutions, has closed its
new $845 million senior secured credit facilities. The credit
facilities include a $60 million revolving credit facility (undrawn

million second lien term loan due 2020. The net proceeds from the new
credit facilities were used to refinance Integra's previously
outstanding term loan and bonds, including the redemption and tender
premiums thereon, and for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the financing, Standard & Poor's Rating Service
affirmed Integra's corporate family rating of B and revised its
outlook to stable from negative, while Moody's Investors Service
