Kimberly-Clark's (KMB) international tissue business, valued at around $4 billion, is attracting acquisition interest, with Indonesia's Asia Pulp & Paper seeking up to $2 billion in loans to support its bid, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The report said Asia Pulp & Paper, which is considered one of the leading contenders, is in discussions with banks and private credit funds.

Talks are still ongoing and may not result in a deal, Bloomberg said, citing people.

Asia Pulp & Paper and Kimberly-Clark didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
