Fairbanks Morse lifts first- and second-lien term loan sizes
By Sara Rosenberg
New York, Sept. 1 – Fairbanks Morse Defense upsized its fungible incremental first-lien term loan due June 23, 2028 to $215 million from $202.5 million and its fungible privately placed incremental second-lien term loan due June 23, 2029 to $47.5 million from $42.5 million, according to a market source.
Also, the original issue discount on the incremental first-lien term loan finalized at 99.5, the tight end of the 99 to 99.5 talk, the source said.
Pricing on the incremental first-lien term loan is Libor plus 475 basis points with a 0.75% Libor floor.
Jefferies LLC, BMO Capital Markets and UBS Investment Bank are the lead arrangers on the deal.
Recommitments were scheduled to be due at 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
Allocations are expected on Thursday morning.
Proceeds will be used with additional cash equity to fund an acquisition. The equity contribution is being reduced as a result of the upsizing of the term loans, the source added.
Fairbanks Morse Defense is a Beloit, Wis.-based provider of propulsion systems, ancillary power, motors and controllers for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, and provider of associated parts and maintenance services.
