UPDATE 2-Silver Lake seeks 1 bln euro syndicated loan to fund Software AG deal

Private equity firm Silver Lake is looking to raise about 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) of debt to fund its takeover of Germany's Software AG, a term sheet seen by Reuters showed on Monday, breathing new life into the sluggish syndicated leveraged loan market. To finance larger acquisitions, private equity firms have traditionally turned to banks, which stump up the necessary financing before offloading the debt to external investors. But banks continue to face challenges, including a drastic drop in the formation of new collateralised loan obligation (CLO) vehicles, the traditional buyers of syndicated loans.

Two associations representing minority investors in Software AG said they will speak out against suitor Silver Lake's plans to delist the company at a shareholder meeting on Wednesday, on concern about the impact on smaller shareholders. Private equity firm Silver Lake has offered to buy Software AG for 32 euros per share, valuing the German software developer at 2.37 billion euros ($2.61 billion) and said it plans to take the company private.
