$100M Term Loan Add-on Secured by Ecovyst to Fund Calabrian Acquisition
ECVT has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $7.025.
Summary
Ecovyst Inc. has completed the syndication of a $100 million fungible Term Loan B add-on. This financing is intended to fund a portion of the previously announced acquisition of the Calabrian sulfur dioxide and sulfur derivatives business from INEOS Enterprises. The add-on, co-terminus with the existing $397 million Term Loan B, was issued at par with a floating rate of SOFR plus 2.00 percent. This development provides clarity on the funding mechanism for the strategic acquisition, which was initially announced on May 1st and confirmed via an 8-K filing on May 4th. While it adds to the company's debt, securing this financing is a crucial step towards closing the acquisition, anticipated by the end of Q2 2026. Investors will now watch for the final closing of the acquisition.
