$100m (+20m) 144a sen cb from GS/JEF pricing tonight. Terms: 7 yr, 1.25-1.75% up 17.5-22.5%, 5yr s/c @140% (w/coupon make whole) prots. UOP = gcp. One product biz which ipod in 06/09. Co is mkt leader but niche is exp to grow fast = competition from the likes of ALU etc. Liq good w/cb & 165m cash but co has stated it w/make acq. Nokia/Ericsson ~25% of co’s rev.
PF debt – 102m
LTM Ebitda = 108m
FCF =17m
Lev = 5x. We’d assume CCC+ & L+700.
ADV = 675k, no leaps, 1yr 90d 50/10ile = off the chart.
Key w/these small deals is understanding the makeup of the book ie MCP squeeze w/equity demand or BKD!
ave said many times these are not model trades. For those who dont agree using L+700/35 = 100.6.
1.5% cpn for credit is too low even in rate env
AVOID
