No reason was divulged regarding the transaction, but investors may have taken the acquisition as a cue to bargain-hunt on its shares.
Paulson’s acquisition followed the listed firm’s regulatory filing earlier this week that one of its direct subsidiaries and two indirect subsidiaries are planning to raise more than $3 billion in fresh funds through the issuance of a loan facility and revolving credit facility.
On Tuesday, the listed firm’s direct arm, Bausch + Lomb Corporation, launched a 600-million euro ($693 million) senior notes offering on Tuesday.
This was on top of another $3 billion being raised by two indirect subsidiaries through a term B loan facility amounting to $2.2 billion and a revolving credit facility worth $800 million.
Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE:BHC) said funds from the fundraising program will be used for the repayment of its direct subsidiary’s existing revolving credit facility, refinancing of term loans due 2027, and paying other fees and expenses, as well as general corporate purposes.
