WILDWOOD, Mo., Aug. 30, 2017 -- Peak Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ:SKIS), a leading owner and operator of high-quality, individually branded ski resorts in the U.S., today announced a series of refinancing transactions with Royal Banks of Missouri that will enhance liquidity and improve financial flexibility.

The transactions include entering into a new $10 million revolving line of credit to be used for working capital purposes, and a renewal of the company’s $15 million acquisition line of credit.  The company intends to roll the $9.71 million currently outstanding under the existing $10 million three-year term loan with Royal Banks of Missouri, which was scheduled to mature in January of 2020, and $2.75 million of additional working capital borrowings under the previous line of credit into the renewed acquisition line.
