We advised the administrative and collateral agent on the prepetition credit facility

Davis Polk advised the prepetition administrative agent, collateral agent, lender and issuing bank in connection with a $125 million post-petition super priority senior secured multiple draw term loan credit facility (the “DIP Facility”) for Phoenix Services Topco, LLC and certain of its debtor subsidiaries (collectively, “Phoenix Services”, or the “Company”). On September 29, 2022, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware entered an order approving the DIP Facility on an interim basis. The DIP Facility consists of $50 million in new money term loans and $75 million in rolled up prepetition loans, with an additional $75 million roll-up of prepetition loans to be addressed at the Second Day Hearing in connection with entry of a final order approving the DIP Facility.
