The company said the agreement on the “unsecured revolving credit facility” would expire next August.
The facility comes on top of a five-year agreement – signed last year – that enables Hershey to borrow up to $1.1bn.
“Due to seasonal working capital needs, share repurchases, and other business activities, the company expects short- term borrowings to exceed $1.1bn from time to time during the next 12 months,” Hershey said.
Last month, Hershey recorded a sharp drop in net income for the first half of the year due to costs from its global supply chain revamp.
