Cabot Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes

On November 4, 2015, Cabot Credit Management Limited (“CCM”) announced that its 100% indirectly owned subsidiary Cabot Financial (Luxembourg) II S.A. (“Cabot Financial II”) had priced an offering of €310 million (approximately $339 million) aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) with a coupon of three-month EURIBOR plus 5.875% in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States to certain non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Offering”).

The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by CCM, Cabot Financial Limited and all material subsidiaries of Cabot Financial Limited (other than Marlin Intermediate Holdings plc and Cabot Financial II). The Issuer expects that the net proceeds of the Offering, if completed, will be used to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the 2015 Senior Secured Bridge Facility and to partially repay drawings on the Cabot Credit Facility.
