By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Dec. 12 - NIBC Bank NV sold €306 million of notes due January 2026 in a European collateralized loan obligation offering brought under Regulation S and Rule 144A, according to an informed source on Thursday.

The deal was upsized from an initial estimate of €304.5 million.

North Westerly CLO IV 2013 BV priced €161 million of class A-1 floating-rate notes (/AAA/AAA) at Euribor plus 145 basis points; $16 million of 2.8% class A-2 fixed-rate notes (/AAA/AAA); €27 million of class B-1 floating-rate notes (/AA/AA) at Euribor plus 210 bps; €10 million of 3.65% class B-2 fixed-rate notes (/AA/AA); €17.5 million of class C floating-rate notes (/A/A) at Euribor plus 325 bps; €16 million of class D floating-rate notes (/BBB/BBB) at Euribor plus 425 bps; €21 million of class E floating-rate notes (/BB/BB) at Euribor plus 600 bps and €37.5 million of subordinated notes.

RBS Securities Inc. was the bookrunner. NIBC was the co-arranger.

NIBC Bank will manage the CLO, which is backed primarily by broadly syndicated senior secured floating-rate notes.

The CLO has a non-call period until Jan. 15, 2017 and a reinvestment period until Jan. 15, 2018.

Proceeds from the offering will be used to purchase a €300 million portfolio of European and U.S. leveraged loans and bonds.

NIBC Bank, based in the Hague, the Netherlands, last priced a European CLO transaction in 2006 when it brought the €410 million North Westerly CLO III BV deal.
