KeHE joins junk calendar; Tallgrass submerged; Acrisure stays up; Spirit tailspin continues

By Paul A. Harris and Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., Jan. 17 – While the dollar-denominated new issue market hit the snooze bar hard on Wednesday, the euro market turned out €1 billion of new junk bonds.

In the United States, though, KeHE Distributors, LLC started marketing a new deal and joined the calendar.

Meanwhile, it was a heavy day in the secondary space with a hotter-than-anticipated retail sales report sparking a risk-off sentiment in the market.

The cash bond market was off ¼ to 3/8 point on Wednesday as Treasury yields climbed double digits on the front end of the curve.

From recent issues, Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP/Tallgrass Energy Finance Corp.’s new 7 3/8% senior notes due 2029 (B1/BB-/BB-) fell below par on a heavy day for the market.

However, Acrisure, LLC/Acrisure Finance, Inc.’s 8¼% senior notes due 2029 (Caa2/CCC+) held on to the gains made on the break with the notes largely unchanged in heavy volume.

Outside of new and recent issues, Spirit Airlines Inc.’s 8% senior secured notes due 2025 (B2) continued their tailspin on Wednesday with the notes sinking another 8 to 9 points after their double-digit decline the previous session.
