By Cristal Cody

Eureka Springs, Ark., Jan. 19 – Sound Point Capital Management LP sold $489.5 million of notes due April 18, 2026 in a refinancing of the Sound Point CLO V, Ltd./Sound Point CLO V LLC transaction, according to a notice of executive supplemental indenture on Wednesday and market sources.

The CLO priced $390 million of class A-R senior secured floating-rate notes at Libor plus 130 basis points; $67 million of class B-R senior secured floating-rate notes at Libor plus 165 bps and $32.5 million of class C-R mezzanine secured deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 240 bps.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC was the refinancing agent.

Sound Point Capital will continue to manage the CLO.

The non-call period on the CLO ended in April 2016, while the reinvestment period ends in April 2018.

Proceeds from the refinancing will be used to redeem the original class A, B-1, B-2 and C notes.

The remaining tranches in the offering originally issued on March 31, 2014 will remain outstanding.

The transaction is collateralized mainly by broadly syndicated first-lien senior secured corporate loans.

Sound Point Capital, a New York-based asset management firm, priced three CLO deals in 2016.
