Market Chatter: Carlyle Group Loses Over $100 Million on Loan to Bankrupt IRobot

Carlyle Group (CG) has lost more than $100 million on a loan it extended to now-bankrupt iRobot (IRBT), Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing estimates based on court filings and disclosures.

Carlyle extended a $200 million bridge loan to iRobot in July 2023 ahead of a planned Amazon.com (AMZN) deal, which later collapsed due to European Union regulatory opposition, resulting in a $94 million termination fee as compensation for iRobot, the report noted.

After the deal fell apart, Carlyle recovered $39 million and later sold the remaining debt at a loss to a subsidiary of Shenzhen PICEA Robotics, which is now poised to take control of iRobot under the bankruptcy plan, according to the report.

Carlyle and iRobot did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.

iRobot shares fell over 31% in recent Tuesday trading, and Carlyle Group declined 0.9%.
