Newco Rossini Acquisition sarl, controlled by CVC, started a roadshow yesterday ending next Thursday for launching the bond which will come in the form of two senior secured notes with 7 years maturity, one with a fixed rate coupon non callable for 3 years and the other with a floating rate coupon non callable for one year. Global coordinator and joint bookrunners are Deutsche Bank (B&D), Credit Suisse e Jefferies; joint bookrunners are also UniCredit, Banca Imi, Credit Agricole-Cib, Natixis, Sociétée Generale and Ubi.
