Linklaters at the forefront of the EU leverage market with Accell (KKR) and Lottomatica (Apollo)

Linklaters is pleased to have been involved in the first TLB and first HY financings out-of-the-gate post-summer in Europe. Both transactions successfully syndicated yesterday. The firm has a number of other leverage financings which are now lined-up to go next week and the following.

The firm expects this to be a sign of a more constructive public market.

Partners Nick Syson and Angus Graham led the team representing the underwriters of the TLB financing supporting KKR’s public takeover of Accell Group. Partners Alek Naidenov and Rohan Saha led the team representing the underwriters of the HY financing supporting future tack-on acquisitions by Lottomatica (an Apollo portfolio company).
