Paul Hastings, a leading global law firm, announced today that the firm represented the initial purchasers on an offering of 8.375% senior guaranteed notes due 2017 of Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:ICA) (NYSE:ICA), Mexico’s largest construction and infrastructure operations company. Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs were lead bookrunners with BBVA, Morgan Stanley and Santander as initial purchasers. The deal was upsized from US$300 million and was more than six times oversubscribed reflecting strong investor interest in Latin America high yield issuances. Proceeds of the high yield debt offering will be used to pay short term debt.
Latin America practice partners Taisa Markus and Mike Fitzgerald led the Paul Hastings team, which also included associates Veronica Rodriguez, Iris Figueroa, Emily Winston and foreign associate Carlos Jimenez.
