By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Sept. 20 – Prudential Investment Management, Inc.’s asset management business PGIM, Inc. priced $510 million of notes due Oct. 19, 2029 in the Dryden 54 Senior Loan Fund/Dryden 54 Senior Loan Fund LLC collateralized loan obligation deal, according to a market source.

The CLO sold $320 million of class A floating-rate notes at a discount margin of Libor plus 120 basis points; $60 million of class B floating-rate notes at a discount margin of Libor plus 165 bps; $30 million of class C floating-rate notes at a discount margin of Libor plus 215 bps; $30 million class D floating-rate notes at a discount margin of Libor plus 310 bps; $20 million of class E floating-rate notes at a discount margin of Libor plus 630 bps and $50 million of subordinated notes.

Goldman Sachs & Co. was the placement agent.

PGIM is the CLO manager.

The CLO has a two-year non-call period and a five-year reinvestment period.

Proceeds from the transaction will be used to purchase a portfolio of about $500 million of mostly senior secured leveraged loans.

The deal is backed primarily by broadly syndicated first-lien senior secured loans.

PGIM has priced four new dollar-denominated CLOs year to date.

Newark, N.J.-based Prudential Investment Management priced three U.S. CLOs and refinanced two vintage U.S. CLOs in 2016.
