RBS WorldPay to launch £235 million term B-2 to U.S. investors Friday

By Sara Rosenberg

New York, Sept. 16 - RBS WorldPay is scheduled to hold a bank meeting in New York on Friday to launch its proposed £235 million seven-year U.S. dollar equivalent term loan B-2, according to a market source.

Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Morgan Stanley, RBS and UBS are the lead banks on the deal.

Price talk on the term loan B-2 is Libor plus 500 basis points with a 1.75% Libor floor, the source said. The original issue discount is not yet available.

The company's £970 million secured credit facility (Ba2/BB) also includes a £75 million six-year revolver, a £75 million six-year capital expenditures facility, a £160 million six-year term loan A, a £325 million seven-year term loan B-1 and a £100 million seven-year euro equivalent term loan B-3.

There was a meeting in London on Thursday to launch the European portion of the deal.

Proceeds will be used to help fund the acquisition of an 80.01% interest in the company by Advent International and Bain Capital from RBS Group for an enterprise value of up to £2.025 billion.

The sale is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

RBS WorldPay is a provider of global payment processing services.
