New York, May 5 – Salient Partners LP is talking its $160 million term loan at Libor plus 500 basis points with a 1% Libor floor and an original issue discount of 99 ahead of its Wednesday bank meeting, according to a market source.

The company’s $175 million credit facility (BB-) also includes a $15 million revolver.

Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. is the lead arranger and bookrunner on the deal.
