Tupelo, Miss., Oct. 3 – Spire Partners LLP priced €271.5 million of notes in a refinancing of a vintage 2017 CLO deal.

Refinancing and new issue activity is picking up in the European market after a summer lull with several deals expected to price soon, according to market sources.

More than €20 billion of euro-denominated CLOs have priced so far this year, a source said.

Spire Partners priced €271.5 million of notes due April 15, 2030 in a refinancing of the vintage 2017 Aurium CLO III DAC transaction, according to an issuer’s notice on Thursday.

The CLO sold €220 million of class A-R senior secured floating-rate notes at Euribor plus 67 basis points in the AAA-rated tranche.

In the original €387.35 million transaction issued May 12, 2017, the CLO had priced €220 million of the class A senior secured floating-rate notes at par to yield Euribor plus 88 bps.

The CLO is backed primarily by senior secured loans or senior secured bonds.
