Moody’s ups Olive second-lien debt

Moody's Investors Service said it affirmed Olive Merger Sub, Inc.'s B3 corporate family rating and upgraded its second-lien debt to Caa1 from Caa2.

Olive Merger Sub is a new entity formed by private equity group KKR to acquire Optiv, Inc.

Moody’s said the upgrade incorporates the shift of $50 million of debt from the second-lien tranche to the first-lien tranche. The B2 first-lien rating was affirmed after the shift. Pricing on both tranches of debt is also reduced, which modestly improves the company's free cash flow prospects.

The outlook remains stable.
