WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES REPRICING OF ITS TERM LOAN B DEBT
FOREST CITY, IOWA, December 8, 2017 - Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WGO) (“Winnebago”), a leading United States (U.S.) recreation vehicle manufacturer, announced today a successful repricing of a $260 million Term Loan B facility.

In conjunction with the repricing of the Term Loan B facility, Winnebago also amended its existing $125 million ABL facility.
