Following a quiet Monday, Synthos, the Polish rubber and styrenics maker launched €500m in Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (Ba2/BB/BB+) on Tuesday. IPTs of high 2% 's followed, and later a €100m upsize. Pricing settled at 2.5% (the tight end of guidance of 2.5-2.625% (WPIR)). Initial proceeds from the loan to bond refinancing were ticketed to repay a €443m term loan tranche under the credit agreement, and €47m for general corporate purposes. The revolving credit facility was also increased to €500m.
