GoldenTree brings European CLO; Westcott Park prices; new issue spreads tighten in June
By Cristal Cody
Eureka Springs, Ark., June 15 CLO managers priced a new deal in each of the European and U.S. primary markets.
GoldenTree Asset Management LP raised 407.24 million in a euro-denominated CLO deal.
In new U.S. dollar issuance, GSO/Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC priced $649.29 million of notes due July 20, 2028 in the Westcott Park CLO, Ltd./Westcott Park CLO LLC transaction, according to a market source. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC was the placement agent. Final pricing details were not available by press time.
New issue spreads for U.S. CLO deals continue to tighten in June following new issuance over the previous week, Bjarni Torfason, an analyst with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., said in a note on Wednesday.
The tighter end of the new issue spread spectrum was solidified as three of the deals were issued by three larger and highly regarded managers, Torfason said. At the AAA level two of the deals priced at L+153 [basis points] and the third at L+154. For the AAs two priced at discount margins of L+210 and the third at L+215. At all levels these are the tightest we have seen for a number of months.
