By Sara Rosenberg

New York, April 29 - Solutia Inc.'s German subsidiary, Flexsys Verkauf GmbH, upsized its two-year senior unsecured term loan to $74 million from $50 million, according to a market source.

In addition, the loan priced at Libor plus 850 basis points with a 3.5% Libor floor and an original issue discount of 95.

At launch, pricing on the term loan was indicated at 12% plus an original issue discount that was still to be determined. It was unknown whether final pricing would end up as a fixed rate or a floating rate.

Jefferies is the lead bank on the deal that was done off of the high-yield desk and syndicated through one-on-one roadshows.

Proceeds will be used to provide additional liquidity to parent company Solutia.

Flexsys is a producer of a chemical used in tire manufacturing. The company has an 85% market share in Europe.
