Mariner Wealth Advisors seeks $150M more in term debt

The fungible add-on lifts the first-lien term loan B to $1.3 billion from $1.16 billion, and S&P and Moody's say the ratings are unaffected.

At a glance

  1. The new money is a fungible add-on, meaning it is issued as additional principal of the existing loan rather than as a separate facility.
  2. Moody's projects Mariner's debt/EBITDA at 6.7x by year-end, nearly $7 of debt for every dollar of annual EBITDA.
  3. The $150 million add-on is roughly 13% more debt on the existing facility.
