WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Calpine Corp. (CPN), the parent company of Calpine Construction Finance Company, L.P., Friday announced a new credit agreement providing for a first lien senior secured term loan facility.
The loan facility comprises a $900 million 7-year term loan B tranche priced at LIBOR plus 225 basis points, and a $300 million 8.5-year term loan B tranche priced at LIBOR plus 250 basis points, in each case with a LIBOR floor of 0.75 percent.
The term loans were offered to investors at an issue price equal to 99.75 percent.
