How to Find Credit Agreements for LBOs with a Publicly Traded Private Equity Sponsor?

chimpnotsimp

I'm hoping the forum can help me understand how to find credit agreements for the borrowings of publicly traded private equity firms in buyout transactions.  Logic tells me that since these are publicly traded companies, the credit agreement should be out there. But I'm having a hard time finding them, and I have a feeling there's a reason. If anyone can tell me how to go about doing this, or what I'm missing, I would very much appreciate it. Assume I have access to CapIQ and EDGAR only. 

Here are two examples -- 

-- Coupa Software / Thoma Bravo Advantage $2.6bn term loan and $200m revolver (both publicly traded companies)

-- Atlas Air / Apollo Global Management $800m term loan and $300m revolver (both publicly traded companies)

Just because a PE firm is public, doesn't mean that they release the credit agreements for their LBOs . . .  its like if JP Morgan released its credit agreements for its entire loan book.    

For take-privates, some firms will release debt commitment letters (Vista I believe typically does) which has alot but not all the terms.  

You should be able to find credit agreements for firms that were PE owned and then IPOed, rather than firms being taken private.
