The tranche B term loan facility will be issued at a price equal to 99.50% of its face value and will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%, with a 0.0% LIBOR floor and will have a seven-year maturity. The tranche B term loan facility is expected to close on October 11, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.
