S&P: Vertafore on watch

S&P said it placed Vertafore Inc.’s B corporate credit rating on CreditWatch with negative implications.

As part of the acquisition, the agency said it expects the company will repay its $620 million first-lien term loan due 2019 and $260 million second-lien term loan due 2017.

The CreditWatch placement follows news that Vertafore will be acquired by Bain Capital and Vista Equity Partners from private equity firm TPG Capital, S&P said.

The transaction could result in Vertafore’s leverage increasing from current debt-to-EBITDA of 4.9x, the agency said.
