# Mativ Holdings Prices $500 Million Junk Loan at Steep Discount

Banks led by JPMorgan Chase & Co. have a $500 million leveraged loan for Mativ Holdings Inc. at one of the biggest discounts so far this year, as investor demand for risky debt wanes amid volatile markets.

The loan, which will refinance debt for the specialty materials producer, was priced Monday at 4.5 percentage points over the benchmark and 95 cents on the dollar, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

Only two US leveraged loans have priced at deeper discounts this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Leveraged borrowers are offering more terms as the economic fallout from the war in Iran and concerns over artificial intelligence’s impact on some businesses weigh on appetite for risky corporate loans. Some companies have even loans from syndication.

On Monday, JPMorgan also the pricing on a $7.2 billion debt package to fund Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC’s takeover of Bubble Wrap maker Sealed Air Corp.

Mativ — which produces materials used in everything from submarine cable tapes to medical adhesives — has grappled with an debt burden while weathering what Chief Executive Officer has recently described as “anemic demand” in some industrial sectors.

JPMorgan last week helped offload in junk debt tied to acquisition-related financings involving Electronic Arts Inc. and Nexstar Media Group Inc.
