The acquiring consortium was advised by Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP and Greenberg Traurig LLP, with additional representation from Simpson Thacher.
On the financing front, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC served as lead arranger and underwriter on the buyers’ bridge loan, joined by co-arranger UBS Securities LLC. Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP represented Goldman Sachs.
