11:04 AM EST, 01/21/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Banks led by Royal Bank of Canada (RY) are marketing $1.8 billion in loans to support Investindustrial's acquisition of TreeHouse Foods (THS) , Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.

The debt package consists of a $1.25 billion term loan B maturing in seven years, along with $550 million in additional secured debt, according to the news outlet.

A meeting for potential backers is scheduled for Wednesday morning with final commitments for the financing due by Feb. 4, the report added.

In November, TreeHouse Foods (THS) agreed to be acquired by Investindustrial in an all-cash deal for a total enterprise value of $2.9 billion.

TreeHouse Foods (THS), which will be taken private upon the completion of the transaction, manufactures products for major retailers including Walmart (WMT) , according to the report.

Royal Bank of Canada (RY), Investindustrial, TreeHouse Foods (THS) and Walmart (WMT) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request 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.
