New York, Dec. 1 – ScionHealth (Knight Health Holdings LLC) will hold a lender call at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday to launch a $450 million seven-year senior secured term loan B, according to a market source.

Barclays is the left bookrunner on the deal.

The term loan has 101 soft call protection for six months and amortization of 1% per annum, the source said.

Proceeds will be used to fund the acquisition of Kindred Healthcare’s long-term acute care business and 18 of LifePoint Health’s community hospitals and associated health systems.
