Bausch + Lomb (BLCO) is considering a potential buyout offer, with banks and private credit companies contending to provide at least $5 billion in debt financing for the deal, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The potential acquisition could value Bausch Lomb at $10 billion or more, including its debt, the media outlet reported.

Private equity firms TPG (TPG) and Blackstone (BX) are reportedly working together on a joint bid to purchase the eye care firm.

Bausch + Lomb, TPG and Blackstone did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
