New York, July 7 – First Data Corp. launched on Monday $5,258,000,000 of U.S. term loans and a €311 million euro term loan, according to a market source.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and KKR Capital Markets are the leads on the deal.

The U.S. debt consists of a $4.25 billion first-lien term loan due in March 2018 and a $1,008,000,000 first-lien term loan due in September 2018, the source said.

Price talk on both U.S. term loans and the €311 million term loan due March 2018 is Libor/Euribor plus 350 basis points with no Libor floor, and the debt is offered at an original issue discount of 99½ for new money and 99¾ for existing money, the source continued.

Proceeds will be used to refinance existing term loans due in March 2018 and September 2018 that are priced at Libor/Euribor plus 400 bps with no Libor floor.

Commitments are due at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the source added.
