Travel + Leisure Co. Successfully Reprices and Upsizes Secured Term Loan B Facility to $598 Million

Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE:TNL) announced today the closing of the Fifth Amendment to its Credit Agreement, which established $598 million of incremental term loans (the “2023 Term Loan B Facility”). The 2023 Term Loan B Facility refinanced $298 million of outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Incremental Term Loan facility and included additional borrowings of $300 million. The company expects to use net proceeds from the 2023 Term Loan B, together with available cash on hand and revolving credit facility borrowings to repay its outstanding $300 million 5.65% secured notes due April 2024 and pay related fees and expenses.

The 2023 Term Loan B Facility matures on December 14, 2029, and priced at SOFR plus 3.25% plus a 0.10% SOFR Adjustment, which is 75 basis points lower than the 2022 Incremental Term Loan facility. $298 million of the borrowings under the 2023 Term Loan B Facility priced at par, while the additional $300 million was subject to an original issue discount of 99.75%. The floor rate remains at 0.50%.

“We are very pleased with the transaction results. Successfully upsizing our 2022 Term Loan B by $300 million while achieving a 75 basis point price reduction demonstrates Travel + Leisure’s continued strong appeal to existing and new investors,” said Mike Hug, Chief Financial Officer of Travel + Leisure Co.
