By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Jan. 24 – Redding Ridge Asset Management, LLC priced $1,552,350,000 of notes due January 2030 in a collateralized loan obligation transaction, according to a market source.

The RR 3 Ltd./RR 3 LLC CLO sold $916 million of class A-1-R2 floating-rate notes at Libor plus 109 basis points; $155 million of class A-2-R2 floating-rate notes at Libor plus 140 bps; $150 million of class B-R2 deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 180 bps; $75 million of class C-R2 deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 250 bps; $68 million of class D-R2 deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 540 bps and $188.35 million of preferred shares.

BNP Paribas Securities Corp. was the refinancing placement agent.

The deal is a refinancing and reset of the ALM XIV, Ltd. transaction that was originally priced and managed by Apollo Credit Management (CLO) LLC.

Apollo Credit Management refinanced $1,177,160,000 of notes from the vintage 2014 CLO on April 5, 2017.
