Deutsche Bank loses spot in NXP IPO
According to reports, KKR is said to have taken Deutsche Bank off the list of underwriters for its impending IPO of Dutch semiconductor business NPX .
The decision follows Deutsche Bank’s (DB) refusal to renew a $60m credit line to NXP. DB’s decision is said to have been made by the underwriting committee, as underwriting fees would not have covered a potential loan loss.
Late last month, the firm’s backers KKR, Bain Capital, Apax Partners, AlpInvest Partners and Silver Lake Capital announced plans to raise $1bn through a flotation. The capital raised would go towards restructuring NXP’s debt; a process which has been ongoing since last year.
