New York, Sept. 22 - Open Solutions Inc. has received a commitment for a $380 million credit facility to help fund its acquisition of The Bisys Group Inc.'s information services group, according to an 8-K recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Wachovia is the lead bank on the deal.

The facility consists of a $30 million revolver, a $290 million first-lien term loan and a $60 million second-lien term loan.

Under the acquisition agreement, Open Solutions will purchase the information services group for a total cash consideration of about $470 million, subject to adjustment.
