11:15 AM EDT, 09/28/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Paramount Skydance's (PSKY) plan to raise over $44 billion from US dollar and euro bond sales has been set in motion, as Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) started holding calls on Monday to gauge investor interest, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The investors calls were to discuss the sale of about $32 billion of investment-grade debt and $12.4 billion-equivalent of junk bonds, the report said citing the people. The financing package also includes $7.5 billion in loans, which lenders began marketing last week, the report said. Paramount wants to sell eight tranches of US dollar-denominated high-grade bonds, with maturities ranging from two to 40 years, the report said, citing the people. For the junk bonds, Paramount is marketing a two-part, euro-denominated tranche, with maturities in five to eight years, plus three tranches of US dollar notes in five-, eight- and 10-year maturities, the people reportedly said. Price talk on the 10-year US dollar notes are for a yield in the low 9% area, the report said, citing the people. Paramount didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
