Travel + Leisure Co. Successfully Executes $869 million Secured Term Loan B Facility Repricing

Key Terms

term loan b facility financial

A Term Loan B facility is a large, multi‑year loan that a company borrows from banks or institutional investors and repays on a fixed schedule, often with smaller regular payments and a larger final payment. Think of it like a commercial mortgage for a business; it matters to investors because it changes the company’s interest costs, cash flow and financial risk — affecting its ability to pay dividends, invest in growth or meet debt obligations.

sofr financial

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.

basis points financial

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.
