New York, June 26 – Avast firmed pricing on its $274 million first-lien covenant-light term loan due March 20, 2020 at Libor plus 325 basis points, the wide end of the Libor plus 300 bps to 325 bps talk, according to a market source.

The loan still has a 1% Libor floor, a par issue price and 101 soft call protection for six months.

With the new term loan, there will be a concurrent $125 million paydown on the existing term loan.

The borrowers are Sybil Software LLC and Sybil Finance BV.
