New York, June 2 – Fairbanks Morse Defense is scheduled to hold a bank meeting at 10:30 a.m. ET on Friday to launch $740 million of credit facilities, according to a market source.

The facilities consist of a $75 million five-year revolver, a $510 million seven-year senior secured first-lien term loan and a $155 million eight-year second-lien term loan, the source said.

The first-lien term loan has 101 soft call protection for six months, and the second-lien term loan has hard call protection of 102 in year one and 101 in year two.

Proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt and fund a distribution to shareholders.
