Market Chatter: Banks Talking to Investors About Makeup of Debt Package Financing Paramount-Warner Bros. Deal

MT Newswires Live05-21 17:31

Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) are discussing a debt package with investors that would help fund Paramount Skydance's (PSKY) proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

The proposed financing would include approximately $30 billion in high-grade bonds, $12 billion of junk bonds, and $7.5 billion in loans, the unnamed sources told the news outlet.

Bank of America, Citigroup, Paramount, and Warner Bros. didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
