from www.reuters.com – Jan 11 (Reuters LPC) – Jefferies is leading a $180 million term loan backing a bid by founder Hugh Hefner to take Playboy Enterprises Inc (PLA.N) private, banking sources told Thomson Reuters LPC on Tuesday.

The launch date for the term loan has not yet been determined, said the sources, who declined to be identified because the deal is private.

The transaction values the company at about $207 million, or $6.15 a share.
