智通财经APP获悉,包括高盛(GS.US)和花旗(C.US)在内的银行已经启动了74.5亿欧元(约合81亿美元)的债务发行,为私募股权巨头Clayton Dubilier & Rice(CD&R)收购赛诺菲旗下消费者健康部门Opella的股份提供资金。
据悉,这74.5亿欧元债务发行包括54.5亿欧元的欧元和美元杠杆贷款,以及20亿欧元的债券。而根据此前的报道,还有12亿欧元的循环信贷安排也是此次融资支持的一部分,这将使融资总额达到86.5亿欧元。
知情人士透露,此次融资的全球协调人包括高盛、花旗、法国巴黎银行、摩根士丹利、巴克莱、汇丰控股和法国兴业银行。另外,据此前报道,欧元部分的目标定价比Euribor高350个基点,美元部分的目标定价比SOFR高325个基点。
当去年CD&R宣布以约150亿欧元收购Opella的股份时,银行渴望重新为杠杆收购提供资金,因为此类交易是金融领域最赚钱的交易之一,而Opella收购案是去年欧洲为数不多规模最大的交易之一。不过,这笔交易如今来到了一个“有趣的”时刻,美国总统特朗普的贸易战引发了大西洋两岸的动荡和经济不确定性。近几天来,不少欧洲和美国企业都搁置了进军贷款市场风险最高领域的计划。
