Barclays, Deustche Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are waiting for commitments from three more banks before closing the books for William Hill's £660m senior debt facility. The deal is split into two tranches: a £450m five year bullet revolver and a £210m 4-1/2 year amortising term loan.

Petrobras will issue $200m rather than the expected $750m of a triple-A wrapped addition to its bunker fuel receivables deal done in December because of a severe shortage of monoline capacity to wrap any more Brazilian securitisations. Citigroup/SSB and BBVA won the mandate this week - they also underwrote the original $750m seven year triple-A wrapped future flow securitisation backed by Petrobras's bunker fuel receivables.
