Debt funding question

For the DCM guys from a curious M&A guy looking to get more knowledgable in the space; say I have a company that is looking to raise $500mm in debt, they are doing $800mm+ in revenue with a solid bottom line (10%+). Let's say they have a debt to equity ratio is 0.5, with total liabilities around $500mm. Cash and cash equivalents about $1.5 B.

What sort of information would you want to see in an offering document / Onesheet? What sort of financial ratios would you look at? What sort of evaluation process do you run through to evaluate the validity of the debt placement? Also, how would you put together the term sheet / what is "in-market"?
