PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- B&G Foods, Inc. (BGS) announced today the closing of a $450.0 million tranche B term loan facility under its existing senior secured credit facility. As previously announced, the tranche B term loans will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%, with a 0.0% LIBOR floor, and have a seven year maturity.

B&G Foods expects to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.
Barclays, Deutsche Bank Securities, RBC Capital Markets, BofA Securities, BMO Capital Markets, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and J.P. Morgan acted as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners, and Credit Suisse, Capital One, Citigroup, Citizens Bank (CBCF), Rabobank and TD Securities acted as joint co-documentation agents.
