Supply aplenty as Olam seals chunky $2.2bn bridge

Agricultural products supplier Olam International has secured a 364 day bridge loan worth $2.22bn, managing to increase it from the $1.5bn target it had approached lenders with. Despite the low starting all-in pricing in the sub 100bp over dollar Libor area, bankers were not put off thanks to the company being the acquisition target of Temasek Holdings.
