Global market maker Virtu Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIRT) today announced that its subsidiaries successfully completed and priced its new $1.80 billion senior secured first lien term loan due in 2029.
The Term Loan was priced at SOFR (with a floor of 50 basis points) + a credit spread adjustment + 300 basis points, and issued at 99.75% of par, each of which is at or better than the tight end of the marketed range.
