New York, April 14, 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the B3 corporate family rating (CFR) and B3-PD probability of default rating (PDR) of Securus Technologies Holdings, Inc. ("Securus" or "the company") following the company's announcement of a definitive agreement to acquire JPay, Inc. ("JPay"). Securus will finance the acquisition with a modest amount of cash on hand, an equity contribution from its sponsor and the proceeds from an incremental $205 million senior secured 1st lien term loan. Moody's has also changed the LGD assessment on the existing senior secured 2nd lien term loan to Caa2 (LGD6) from Caa2 (LGD5), reflecting a higher potential loss severity given the higher mix of 1st lien debt within the capital structure. The outlook remains stable.
