By Sara Rosenberg

New York, Nov. 2 - Fibertech Networks set pricing on its $235 million term loan B at Libor plus 500 basis points, the low end of initial talk of Libor plus 500 bps to 550 bps, according to a market source.

Also, the Libor floor firmed at 1.75%, the wide end of the 1.5% to 1.75% talk, the source said.

As before, the original issue discount on the term loan B is 981/2.

The company's $260 million credit facility (B2/B) also includes a $25 million revolver.

TD Securities is the lead bank on the deal.

Proceeds will be used to help fund the buyout of the company by Court Square Capital Partners from Nautic Partners and Ridgemont Equity Partners.

Other funding for the transaction will come from equity contributed by investment funds managed by Court Square, as well as investments by the senior management of Fibertech.

Closing is expected later this year, subject to customary conditions, including all required regulatory approvals.

Fibertech is a Rochester, N.Y.-based provider of fiber optic bandwidth services.
