Tupelo, Miss., July 14 – THL Credit Advisors LLC affiliate THL Credit Senior Loan Strategies LLC issued $416.3 million of notes in a refinancing and reset of the THL Credit Wind River 2013-1 CLO Ltd./THL Credit Wind River 2013-1 LLC transaction, according to market sources and a notice of revised second supplemental indenture on Thursday.

The CLO priced $289.3 million of class A-1R senior secured floating-rate notes (Aaa/AAA) at Libor plus 125 basis points; $52 million of class A-2-R senior secured floating-rate notes (AA) at Libor plus 175 bps; $29.4 million of class B-R senior secured deferrable floating-rate notes (A) at Libor plus 240 bps; $24.8 million of class C-R senior secured deferrable floating-rate notes (BBB) at Libor plus 365 bps; $20.2 million of class D-R senior secured deferrable floating-rate notes (BB) at Libor plus 630 bps and an additional $600,000 of subordinated notes.

Barclays was the refinancing underwriter.

THL Credit Senior Loan Strategies will continue to manage the CLO.

The maturity on the new notes will be extended to July 20, 2030 from the original April 20, 2025 maturity.

In addition, the refinanced CLO will have a two-year non-call period and a five-year reinvestment period.

In the original $467.1 million transaction issued on April 17, 2013, the CLO sold $277 million of class A-1 senior secured floating-rate notes at Libor plus 115 basis points; $29.3 million of class A-2A senior secured floating-rate notes at Libor plus 190 bps; $22 million of 3.45% class A-2B senior secured fixed-rate notes; $38.9 million of class B senior secured deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 280 bps; $25.2 million of class C senior secured deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 340 bps; $23.8 million of class D senior secured deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 460 bps and $50.9 million of subordinated notes.

Proceeds from the offering will be used to redeem all of the original floating-rate and fixed-rate notes on July 20.

The $50.9 million of original subordinated notes, which includes $10.18 million of subordinated A notes and $40.72 million of subordinated B notes, will remain outstanding.

The CLO is backed primarily by broadly syndicated first-lien senior secured corporate loans.
