Consilio launches $370M add-on term loan for M&A; commitments due Nov. 23

The add-on is offered at 99-99.25 and will be fungible with the existing first-lien term loan due May 2028 that is priced at L+400, with a 0.5% Libor floor. At talk, the yield to maturity is 4.72%-4.77%. Note that the 101 soft call protection will be reset for six months with this transaction.

Consilio also has a privately placed $300 million second-lien term loan due 2029 as well as a $75 million revolver due 2026.
