Sub-sections
  • Banks have set a price range on the listing of Acciona Energia, the Spanish renewable energy company, valuing it at between €8.8bn and €9.8bn. The banks already have some indications of interest within the valuation range and the transaction is coming at a big discount to its main listed peer, but some ECM investors say they are likely to sit the deal out because they believe it to be too expensive at a time the IPO market is challenged.
  • Meyer Burger, a German engineering company that makes cells for solar energy, has signed a €185m partly state guaranteed bank facility, that comes with a disbursement clause that locks the company into raising another €100m by this time next year.
  • Gangfeng Lithium Co, the world’s largest lithium metal supplier, raised HK$4.869bn ($628m) from a placement over just two hours of bookbuilding as investors flocked to the Chinese company’s deal.
  • Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust has unveiled plans for a £100m share sale amid a swathe of fundraising by London-listed investment trusts.
  • Two of the largest private placement investors have beaten the broader market to a deal with Biffa, the UK waste management company, after many investors expected the transaction to be widely marketed. More frequently, larger investors are going direct to borrowers with bilateral and club deals, undercutting the syndicated market.
  • US-based battery maker Energizer launched a €650m eight year unsecured bond on Wednesday, intending to refinance its 2026 notes, cut interest costs and push out its maturities.
