Executive Summary

ESCO Technologies entered into a new $1B+ senior secured credit facility (a $500M revolver, $500M Term Loan A, and up to $500M Term Loan B) to finance the pending $2.35B acquisition of Megger Group Limited. The existing credit agreement will be terminated upon closing. The filing is a routine financing step for the previously announced acquisition.

Actionable Insight

Monitor for closing of the Megger acquisition, which will trigger the effectiveness of the new credit facilities and increase leverage. The term loan B syndication process will provide further detail on pricing and investor demand.
