New York, May 7 - Magnequench Inc. is scheduled to kick off syndication of a proposed $175 million senior secured 51/2-year term loan on Monday, according to a market source. Bear Stearns is the sole lead bank on the deal.

Price talk on the term loan, which is expected to close some time in early June, is not yet being disclosed.

Senior leverage is 3.2x, and interest coverage is 4.3x on a pro forma basis.
