Successful Completion of Term Loan Refinancing
23 March 2021
Avast plc announces that it has successfully priced and completed a USD 480 million and a Euro 300 million Senior Secured Term Loan B (together, the "Facilities"). The new 7-year Facilities, which are repayable in March 2028, will be used by Avast to fully refinance its existing Senior Secured Term Loan B due September 2023.
Final pricing for both tranches of the new Facilities is 2.0% above LIBOR/EURIBOR (subject to a 0.0% floor) at an original issue discount of 0.25%. In response to strong investor demand, this is inside original guidance of LIBOR/EURIBOR +2.25% at a discount in the range 0.25% to 0.5%, and represents a saving of 25bps versus the existing pricing.
Credit Suisse was the physical lead bookrunner on the deal, and Morgan Stanley a joint lead bookrunner.
