Market Chatter: Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank Line Up $1.8 Billion Debt for TreeHouse Deal

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 01/08/26 01:53 PM EST

01:53 PM EST, 01/08/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Royal Bank of Canada (RY) and Deutsche Bank (DB) are pre-marketing about $1.8 billion of debt tied to Investindustrial's acquisition of TreeHouse Foods (THS) , Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the situation.

Royal Bank of Canada (RY) is in early talks on about $1.25 billion term loan priced at about 4 percentage points above the benchmark, while discussions are being held on a $550 million secured junk bond offering led by Deutsche Bank (DB), the report said. Size and pricing have yet to be finalized, Bloomberg said.

TreeHouse agreed in November to be acquired and taken private by Investindustrial for $2.9 billion, with the deal expected to close in Q1.

RBC, Deutsche Bank (DB), TreeHouse Foods (THS), and Investindustrial didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
