Ropes & Gray LLP advised Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Nordea in connection with the €1.45 billion financing of Nordic Capital’s acquisition of a majority stake in Norway-based Lindorff, one of Europe’s leading providers of debt-related administrative services.
The firm’s finance team, led by London-based partnersTania Bedi and Michael Kazakevich, advised the investment banks on the financing commitments provided to Nordic Capital and the subsequent high yield offering. The transaction represents the first completed underwriter-side mandate for the firm’s London office after a series of landmark issuer-side transactions, including the financings for Numericable’s acquisition of SFR and Liberty Global plc’s acquisition of Virgin Media.
