Included in the first-lien term loan debt is 101 soft call protection for six months and amortization of 1% per annum, and the second-lien term loan has hard call protection of 102 in year one and 101 in year two.

Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Barclays, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets LLC, UBS Investment Bank and Mizuho Bank Ltd. are the joint lead arrangers and bookrunners on the deal, with Morgan Stanley the left lead on the first-lien and JPMorgan the left lead on the second-lien.

Commitments are due on Sept. 21.

Proceeds will be used to refinance the existing Intel seller financing, pay a dividend to equity holders and pay fees and expenses.

McAfee is a Santa Clara, Calif.-based cybersecurity company.
