BHP signs 19 new lenders into M&A facility
BHP Billiton signed its $45bn acquisition loan on Friday, with 19 banks joining the six lenders that had already committed to the facility.
The deal, which backs the Anglo-Australian miners hostile bid for PotashCorp of Saskatchewan announced in August, was launched to a limited group of relationship banks last month, with lenders asked to commit $2.5bn each on a take and hold basis.
