New York, March 2 - Shearer's Foods Inc. is scheduled to hold a bank meeting on Thursday to launch a $139 million credit facility, according to a market source.

Jefferies and BMO are the lead banks on the deal, with Jefferies the left lead.

The facility consists of a $20 million revolver and a $119 million term loan, which are being talked at Libor plus 475 basis points with a 2% Libor floor and an original issue discount of 98, the source said.

Proceeds will be used to help fund the acquisition of Snack Alliance Inc., a contract pack and private label snack producer.
