Cash loans, synthetics finish flat on Friday; Endemol prices add-on; LBM sets lender call

By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., April 10 – Cash loans and synthetics finished flat on Friday, market sources said.

The LCDX22 index of bank loan credit default swaps finished the session unchanged at 102½ bid, 103½ offered, according to a hedge fund manager.

The Longview Power LLC Libor plus 600-basis-points six-year term loan B, which allocated earlier in the week, was 100½ bid, 101½ offered heading into Friday’s close, well over its reoffer price but unchanged over the past two days, according to a trader.

The $300 million deal, upsized from $250 million, came at 99.

A dearth of new deals is putting pressure on loans in the secondary market, said the trader who agreed with other loan market watchers that if prices remain elevated a new wave of refinancings cannot be far behind.

“Some of the ripe ones are protected,” the trader pointed out, adding that the Dollar Tree Inc. seven-year term loan B, at 101¾ offered on Friday, has a six-month 101 soft call.

In the primary market Endemol priced an add-on to its first-lien term loan, and US LBM set a Monday lender call for a proposed $50 million term loan tack-on.
