Monday, 21 January 2019 8:07 pmOh look: now the venerable Wall Street Journal and my former employer, The Daily Telegraph, are reporting Apollo's £3 billion takeover of RPC is set to be announced tomorrow morning.
Monday, 21 January 2019 3:17 pmBloomberg have just chucked out a piece saying the lending banks, including HSBC, have "underwritten a multi-billion leveraged debt financing to back" the buy-out of RPC by Apollo Global Management.
Friday, 18 January 2019 7:08 pmApollo, the private equity firm, is said to have lined up HSBC to finance its £3 billion plus leveraged buy-out of RPC, the plastics company, but it's not clear whether the bank's credit committee has approved the loan for takeover deal.
