By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., May 19 - LCM Asset Management LLC sold an upsized $725.6 million of notes due 2026 in the LCM XVI LP/LCM XVI LLC CLO transaction, according to an informed source.

The deal was upsized from $621.21 million.

The CLO priced $4.5 million of class X floating-rate notes at Libor plus 100 basis points; $441 million of class A floating-rate notes at Libor plus 150 bps; $84.7 million of class B floating-rate notes at Libor plus 200 bps; $56 million of class C floating-rate notes at Libor plus 285 bps; $34.3 million of class D floating-rate notes at Libor plus 360 bps; $33.6 million of class E floating-rate notes at Libor plus 460 bps and $71.5 million of limited partnership certificates in the equity tranche.

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. was the placement agent.

LCM Asset Management will manage the CLO, which is backed primarily by first-lien senior secured corporate loans.

The CLO will have a two-year non-call period and a four-year reinvestment period.

Proceeds will be used to purchase a portfolio of about $600 million of primarily senior secured leveraged loans.

LCM Asset Management refinanced $370.5 million of notes in the LCM X LP/LCM X LLC CLO in April and priced the $624 million LCM XV LP/LCM XV LLC transaction in January.

The New York City-based asset management firm brought two CLO deals in 2013.
