New Issue: Evertec prices $40 million tap of 11% notes due 2018 at 105 to yield 9.921%

By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., May 3 - Evertec, LLC and Evertec Finance Corp. priced a $40 million add-on to their 11% senior notes due Oct. 1, 2018 (Caa1/B-/) at 105 on Wednesday, according to a syndicate source.

The reoffer price renders a 9.921% yield to maturity and a 9.575% yield to worst.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch was the lead left bookrunner. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC was the joint bookrunner.

Proceeds, together with the proceeds from the credit agreement transactions and available cash on hand, will be used to pay a cash dividend to the direct parent company, Carib Holdings, which in turn will ultimately be paid as a cash dividend to the stockholders of the indirect parent company, Carib Inc.

Evertec is a San Juan, Puerto Rico-based provider of transaction processing, payment processing, merchant acquiring and other related services in Puerto Rico and certain countries within the Caribbean and within Central and Latin America.
