Scotsman ups term loan add-on to $70 million, cuts offer price to par

By Sara Rosenberg

New York, May 16 - Scotsman Industries Inc. increased its term loan add-on (B1/B+) to $70 million from $60 million and is now offering the debt at par instead of at a discount of 991/2, according to a market source.

Pricing on the add-on is Libor plus 425 basis points, with a step-down to Libor plus 400 bps when total net leverage is less than 2.50 times, and a 1.5% Libor floor.

The company's existing term loan that was obtained last year at a size of $115 million carries the same pricing as the add-on but had been sold at a discount of 99.

GE Capital Markets is the lead bank on the deal.

Proceeds will be used to fund a dividend.

Scotsman Industries is a Vernon Hills, Ill.-based manufacturer of commercial ice machines and related products.
