Doubles all round

Article Abstract:

Punch Taverns used sophisticated financing techniques in its acquisition of Bass Pubs. The process began with a 564 million pounds sterling management buy-in in Dec 1997 by entrepreneurs Hugh Osmond and Roger Myers in their new company Punch Taverns. Bankers Trust BT Capital Partners Europe division arranged the debt package for this deal to include senior debt and a high yield bond bridge facility of 110 million pounds sterling. The particular circumstances of the deal facilitated pioneering two-stage involvement by Bankers Trust in securitization of the leveraged finance.
