New Issue: Jefferies brings $498 million of collateralized loan obligation notes

By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Aug. 13 – Jefferies Finance LLC priced $498 million of notes due Feb. 21, 2022 in the JFIN Revolver CLO 2014 Ltd./JFIN Revolver CLO 2014 LLC transaction, according to details from a market source.

The CLO sold $140 million of class A-1 senior secured floating-rate notes (Aaa/expected AAA/) at Libor plus 150 basis points; $116 million of class A-2 senior secured floating-rate notes (Aaa/expected AAA/) at Libor plus 130 bps; $67 million of class B senior secured floating-rate notes (/expected AA/) at Libor plus 200 bps; $42 million of class C secured deferrable floating-rate notes (/expected A/) at Libor plus 275 bps; $26 million of class D secured deferrable floating-rate notes (/expected BBB/) at Libor plus 275 bps and $107 million of subordinated notes.

Jefferies LLC was the placement agent.

Jefferies Finance will manage the CLO.

The deal is collateralized primarily by broadly syndicated first-lien senior secured loans, cash and eligible investments. Unlike typical managed cash flow CLOs, all of the JFIN Revolver CLO transaction’s assets will consist of revolving loans and delayed-draw loans.

The non-call and reinvestment periods end in 2016.

Jefferies Finance was last in the primary market on June 27 with the $562.5 million JFIN CLO 2014-II Ltd./JFIN CLO 2014-II LLC deal.

The New York City-based firm, a commercial finance firm co-owned by Jefferies Group LLC and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co., has priced four CLO transactions in 2014.
