MT Newswires Live07-09

Barclays (BCS) is preparing to sell about $875 million of debt financing to support Blackstone (BX) and Tinicum's acquisition of UK aerospace supplier Senior, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

The financing includes a $685 million senior secured term loan, a $190 million term loan, and a $150 million revolving credit facility, the report said. Barclays is leading the bank group arranging the debt, it added.

Senior agreed in April to a takeover offer from the consortium that valued the company at about 1.4 billion British Pounds ($1.9 billion), it said. The deal is expected to be marketed to institutional investors in the coming weeks, it added.

Barclays and Blackstone did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
