OVERVIEW U.S.-based SRS Distribution Inc. plans to enter a $220 million bank term loan B, as well as a $100 million revolving credit facility and $100 million in mezzanine unsecured notes to refinance existing debt and fund its acquisition by private equity firm Berkshire Partners LLC. We are assigning a corporate credit rating of 'B' to reflect the company's substantial debt that is consistent with a "highly leveraged" financial risk profile. We are assigning our 'B' issue-level rating to the proposed $220 million senior secured bank term loan B. The stable rating outlook reflects our expectation that the company will continue to generate modest positive free cash flow and maintain adequate liquidity while reducing total adjusted leverage (including lease obligations)
