Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Abandon Second Loan Offering for KKR Boots Buyout

(Bloomberg) -- Deutsche Bank AG, JPMorgan Chase &

The underwriters withdrew the sale of second-lien loans,
debt that ranks after senior loans for repayment, said the
people, who declined to be identified because the discussions

syndicate 750 million pounds of mezzanine debt, which ranks last
for repayment.
