Walter Energy seeks loan amendment to revise covenants, pricing

By Sara Rosenberg

New York, Oct. 19 - Walter Energy Inc. is looking to amend its credit facility to relax the total leverage and interest coverage ratios and increase term loan B pricing to Libor plus 425 basis points with a 1% Libor floor from Libor plus 300 bps with a 1% floor, according to a market source.

Lenders are being offered a 25 bps amendment fee, the source said.

Consents are due on Oct. 26.

Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc. is leading the amendment that launched with a call this past Tuesday.

Walter Energy is a Birmingham, Ala.-based pure-play metallurgical coal producer.
