Kraton contracted with JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners to amend its existing senior secured facility.

The proposed amendments include:

  • Repricing the existing term loans under the term loan facility
  • Extending the maturity by approximately three years to March 2025
  • Increasing borrowings under the Euro denominated tranche of the term loan facility by approximately $100 million to $200 million

The company plans to use the proceeds from additional borrowings under the Euro-denominated tranche to pay down a portion of the existing U.S. dollar-denominated tranche.

Kraton develops, manufactures and markets biobased chemicals and specialty polymers.
