The transaction closed on Nov. 15. KAG funded the acquisition with interim borrowings under its senior secured credit facility. KAG intends, subject to market conditions, to refinance a portion of its senior secured credit facility with U.S. and Canadian dollar term loans and unsecured high yield notes.
