UBS-led (UBS) lender group has funded TJC-backed Echo Global Logistics' acquisition of ITS Logistics, after talks to sell the $765 million loan for the merger were paused due to ongoing market turbulence, Bloomberg reported Wednesday evening, citing people familiar with the matter.
The UBS-led group funded the loan after the acquisition was completed at the end of March, the people reportedly said, adding that the group plans to try to syndicate the debt to investors at a later date.
UBS, TJC and Echo Global Logistics did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment on Thursday.
