The CLO sold $325 million of class A senior secured floating-rate notes at Libor plus 145 basis points; $55 million of class B senior secured floating-rate notes at Libor plus 210 bps; $26.7 million of class C mezzanine secured deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 300 bps; $30.3 million of class D mezzanine secured deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 365 bps; $23 million of class E junior secured deferrable floating-rate notes at Libor plus 550 bps and $53.4 million of subordinated notes.
