FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 4, 2008--Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE:PDX) today announced that it has completed a new $350 million revolving credit facility that will provide a funding source for acquisitions, as well as other corporate purposes. The credit facility also features an option that would allow Pediatrix, under certain conditions, to increase the total borrowing capacity under the facility to $400 million.

Pediatrix has successfully used its cash and credit facility to execute a growth strategy that led to a national group practice of neonatal, maternal-fetal, pediatric cardiology and pediatric intensive physicians and advanced practitioners. The Company is also executing a new strategic opportunity to develop a national anesthesia physician group practice.

The new line of credit was provided by a syndicate of 12 financial institutions with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and U.S. Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agent. Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC acted as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner and Banc of America Securities LLC acted as Joint Lead Arranger.

The new facility matures in five years, and it replaces a $225 million revolving credit facility that was due to expire in 2009.
