New York, October 28, 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 rating to PolyOne Corporation's (Ba2 stable) proposed $550 million Senior Secured term loan due 2022. Proceeds from the term loan will be used to repay existing debt and extend the company's debt maturity profile. Specifically, PolyOne will pre-fund the $49 million 7.5% debentures due December 2015 and tender for the $317 million 7.375% Senior Notes due 2020. The remaining proceeds will be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the $400 million ABL facility and provide additional balance sheet cash. While PolyOne will increase its overall debt level, the transaction should improve its cost of capital through an expected reduction in interest rate. The ratings are subject to a review of the final documentation. PolyOne's outlook is stable.
