Banks led by UBS Group (UBS) and Citigroup (C) failed to offload $2.35 billion of debt in the buyout of Patterson's (PDCO), Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Patterson said Thursday the buyout by Patient Square Capital has closed. The banks will be required to use their own balance sheets to fund the transaction, Bloomberg said.
UBS, Citigroup, Patterson and Patient Square didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
