(Nasdaq: ADMA) (“ADMA” or the “Company”), an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty biologics, today announced it has repaid $30 million from its original $72.5 million revolving credit facility with Ares Capital. Following the partial paydown, ADMA has reduced its total gross debt to $105 million, comprised of its existing $62.5 million term loan and $42.5 million now outstanding under its revolving credit facility.
