Tupelo, Miss., June 19 – Western Asset Management Co. LLC priced $352.3 million of notes due July 20, 2030 in the firm’s first broadly syndicated transaction since 2014, according to market sources.

Crown City CLO I/Crown City CLO I LLC sold $210 million of class A-1 floating-rate notes at Libor plus 205 basis points and $56 million of class A-2 floating-rate notes at Libor plus 255 bps.

The CLO also priced $21 million of class B deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 303 bps, $17.5 million of class C deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 462 bps, $10.5 million of class D deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 788 bps and $37.3 million of subordinated notes.

Western Asset Management will manage the CLO, which has a one-year non-call period and a two-year reinvestment period.

The deal is backed primarily by broadly syndicated senior secured loans from issuers based in the United States.

The company last issued a new CLO on April 11, 2014 when it brought the Mountain Hawk III CLO, Ltd. offering.
