US Ecology sets Wednesday launch for $540 million credit facility
By Sara Rosenberg
New York, April 25 - US Ecology Inc. will hold a bank meeting at 9:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday to launch its $540 million credit facility (Ba3), according to a market source.
Wells Fargo Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC are the joint lead arrangers on the deal.
The facility consists of a $125 million five-year revolver and $415 million seven-year term loan.
Company officials previously disclosed in a conference call that they expect the term loan pricing to be somewhere around the 5% to 6% area.
Proceeds will be used to help fund the acquisition of EQ-The Environmental Quality Co. from Kinderhook Industries LLC for $465 million.
Closing is expected in the second or third quarter, subject to customary conditions, and a purchase price adjustment based on working capital.
Leverage will be around 3.3 times 2013 pro forma combined company EBITDA.
US Ecology is a Boise, Idaho-based provider of radioactive, hazardous, PCB and non-hazardous industrial waste management and recycling services. EQ is a Wayne, Mich.-based fully integrated environmental services and waste management company.
