LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY – The acquisition facilities of $56.9 billion that Bayer had agreed with five underwriter banks (BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, HSBC and JP Morgan) prior to announcement of the Monsanto acquisition has now been successfully syndicated within the group of Bayer’s core relationship bank according to a press release.
Banks were invited for two ticket sizes, $4.5 billion as Bookrunner and Mandated Lead Arranger and $1.125 billion as Lead Arranger.
