The deal is one of a number of high-profile European situations that the Banking and High Yield team has advised on so far in 2015, and follows swiftly on from the team’s leading role in the multi-billion dollar financing of Hellman & Friedman’s acquisition of Bain Capital’s holding in Securitas Direct.

Other recent mandates include: advising the lenders on Onex’s €3.75 billion acquisition of SIG Combibloc, the lenders on CVC Capital Partners’ $1.2 billion acquisition of Sky Bet from Sky plc and on the high yield financing of Centerbridge Partners’ €1.2 billion acquisition of Senvion.
