Tariff-related volatility may have slowed deal flow in the leveraged finance primary market, but it hasnât stopped banks from underwriting a handful of debt financings for new acquisition and buyout processes.
Transactions in the pipeline include a $625m bridge loan via Bank of America to support StoneXâs acquisition of brokerage firm R.J. OâBrien & Associates, in addition to reported committed financing from Jefferies and UBS for Bain Capitalâs buyout of Sizzling Platter.
