BC Partners owned United Group, the south eastern Europe telecoms company, was out on Monday with €300m in fresh Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (B2/B). Initial thoughts emerged in the mid to high 4s, before settling at the tight end of PT for 4.625%.
Liquidity will improve after the deal, as with the prior three transactions, a portion of the offering (€95m) will term out drawings under the super senior revolving credit facility, pushing debt down the structure. In addition, RCF commitments are to be increased by €75m to €325m.
