New Issue: TICC details $80 million CLO add-on, sells AAA tranche at Libor plus 175 bps

By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., May 29 - TICC Capital Corp. raised $80 million in the previously reported reopening of collateralized loan obligation notes due Aug. 25, 2023 in a private placement, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Subsidiary TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC priced $44 million of the class A-1 senior secured floating-rate notes (Aaa/AAA/) at Libor plus 175 basis points; $5 million of class B-1 senior secured floating-rate notes (Aa2/AA/) at Libor plus 350 bps; $5.75 million of class C-1 secured deferrable floating-rate notes (A2/A/) at Libor plus 475 bps; and $5.25 million of class D-1 secured deferrable floating-rate notes (Baa2/BBB/) at Libor plus 575 bps.

TICC Capital purchased the $20 million offering of subordinated notes, which are not rated and do not bear interest.

Guggenheim Securities, LLC was the underwriter.

Greenwich, Conn.-based TICC Capital is the manager of the CLO, which is backed by a diversified portfolio of bank loans.

The notes have a non-callable period until August 2014.

The firm first sold $160 million in the CLO in an offering that closed on Aug. 23, 2012 and priced another $80 million in an add-on completed on Feb. 25.

Total issuance is $320 million.

In the initial offering, TICC sold $88 million of the class A-1 notes at Libor plus 175 bps, $10 million of the class B-1 notes at Libor plus 350 bps; $11.5 million of the class C-1 notes at Libor plus 475 bps; $10.5 million of the class D-1 notes at Libor plus 575 bps; and $40 million of subordinated notes.

TICC plans to use the proceeds to purchase additional collateral obligations, to invest in eligible investments or to apply to payments in the indenture.
