By Sara Rosenberg

New York, April 25 - Omnova Solutions Inc. firmed up timing on the launch of its proposed $230 million credit facility with the scheduling of a bank meeting for Tuesday, according to a market source.

Previously, it was known that the deal would launch next week, but a specific date had been unavailable.

The facility consists of an $80 million ABL revolver and a $150 million term loan B, the source said.

Deutsche Bank is the bookrunner on the term loan B and JPMorgan is the bookrunner on the ABL revolver.

Proceeds will be used to help fund a cash tender offer for the company's $165 million of 11¼% secured notes due 2010.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire on May 18 and is conditioned on the company getting the new term loan.

Omnova is a Fairlawn, Ohio, provider of emulsion polymers and specialty chemicals, and decorative and functional surfaces for various commercial, industrial and residential end uses.
