Reuters<\/em> – A debt financing of more than 2 billion euros ($2.62 billion) backing the 3.1 billion euro ($4.06 billion) purchase of German metering firm Ista by private equity firm CVC will be a mix of leveraged loans and high-yield bonds, sources said on Friday.<\/p>\n

CVC trumped rival BC Partners to buy a 76 percent stake from co-owner Charterhouse on Thursday in Germany’s largest private equity deal since 2008.<\/p>\n

The senior debt will be split into loans and senior secured bonds and the junior debt will comprise senior unsecured bonds, the sources said.<\/p>\n

The debt financing will have total leverage of around 7.25 times Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), and senior leverage of around 5.5 times, they added.<\/p>\n

CVC contributed around 1 billion euros ($1.31 billion)of equity to the deal, which reduced leverage on the debt to 7.25 times EBITDA, compared to leverage of 7.5 times on BC Partners’ financing.<\/p>\n

CVC’s more conservative debt structure and slightly higher equity contribution is designed to ensure that Ista has a flexible capital structure which will allow management to invest in and grow the business, one of the sources said.<\/p>\n

Deutsche Bank is in a lead position on the financing package, after providing a staple financing on the loan. Deutsche is expected to be joined by other banks on the financing package, which is still being finalised.<\/p>\n

A mandate is expected early next week and the financing package will be launched shortly thereafter. ($1 = 0.7644 euros) (Reporting by Tessa Walsh)<\/p>\n
