Ahlsell seeks swift close after early bird demand

Bookrunners on the Skr9.9bn ($1.45bn) of senior loans backing CVC’s buy-out of Swedish building group Ahlsell are expecting to close books next week, after some lenders committed in an early bird phase. Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s are releasing their private ratings on the facility — which market participants say will be in the single B area — at the end of this week.
