Tupelo, Miss., Aug. 11 – THL Credit Advisors LLC affiliate THL Credit Senior Loan Strategies LLC priced $456 million of notes in two tranches from the THL Credit Wind River 2015-1 CLO Ltd./THL Credit Wind River 2015-1 LLC transaction, according to a market source and a notice of executed second supplemental indenture on Thursday.
