Onex Prices U.S. CLO-21

All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated 

TORONTO, April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Onex Corporation (“Onex”) (TSX: ONEX) announced that Onex Credit Partners, LLC (“Onex Credit”) priced its 21^st U.S. collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) for approximately $510 million. The transaction will be issued by a special purpose vehicle, backed by a diversified portfolio of broadly syndicated leveraged loans. The CLO is expected to close in early June.

U.S. CLO-21 will be managed by the Onex Credit team led by Ronnie Jaber and Karen Lau. The transaction will be supported by a diverse, global group of more than ten investors, including an equity investor who has invested in several Onex Credit CLOs, resulting in approximately two thirds of the CLO equity being taken by third-party investors. This is the firm’s 25^th CLO since launching its CLO platform in 2012.

“We are grateful to all of our partners who supported us in this CLO and for their interest in our growing platform. We launched U.S. CLO-21 looking to raise $400 million, and were quickly oversubscribed across most of the capital structure, which led to the transaction being upsized by more than 25% to better meet investor demand,” said Karen Lau, a Portfolio Manager at Onex Credit.

“We’re excited that investors recognize our organization’s strong commitment and alignment, and showcased their support by investing with us,” commented Ronnie Jaber, a Portfolio Manager and Head of Structured Credit at Onex Credit.

The securities offered in this CLO have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under that Act. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any such securities.
