By Sara Rosenberg

New York, March 31 – City Brewing Co. LLC trimmed pricing on its $850 million seven-year term loan B (B1/B+) to Libor plus 350 basis points from Libor plus 375 bps, according to a market source.

Additionally, the original issue discount talk on the term loan was revised to a range of 99 to 99.5 from just 99, and then firmed later in the day at 99.5, the source said.

The term loan still has a 0.75% Libor floor and 101 soft call protection for six months.

JPMorgan Chase Bank is the lead on the deal.

Recommitments were scheduled to be due at 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday, the source added.

Proceeds will be used to help fund the buyout of the company by a consortium of investors, including Charlesbank Capital Partners, Oaktree Capital Management LLC and Blue Ribbon Partners LLC, to refinance existing debt and to fund capital expenditures.

Closing is expected in April.

City Brewing is a manufacturer of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
