Another Dividend: CHG Healthcare Readies $990M Leveraged Loan Backing Recap

An arranger group led by Goldman Sachs has scheduled a lender meeting for CHG Healthcare Services on Thursday, May 19, at 10 a.m. EDT.

The issuer is raising a $990 million term loan B, while $300 million of second-lien notes have been privately placed, according to sources. Proceeds back a dividend recapitalization. Additional arrangers are expected to be named shortly.

The healthcare-staffing provider is controlled by Leonard Green & Partners and Ares Management.

CHG roughly a year ago wrapped a $225 million add-on to its covenant-lite first-lien term loan to repay second-lien term debt and fund a small dividend, sources noted. The add-on took first-lien outstandings to roughly $800 million.

The CHG deal is the latest in a relative spurt of recap/dividend loans lately. — Chris Donnelly
