  • After weeks of slim pickings in high yield and leveraged loan capital markets, Monday brought a flood of new issue announcements, with MasMovil’s take-private loan, a multi-currency loan from cruise company Carnival, AMS’s bridge for the takeover of Osram, an add-on for IFCO, and a high yield debut in the morning.
