Nielsen Affiliate Prices $1.4 Billion in Notes for DoubleVerify Deal

Neptune BidCo US said late Monday that the offering is expected to close Nov. 30. The proceeds will be combined with term-loan borrowings, an equity contribution from Nielsen’s investors and cash on hand to fund the acquisition and pay related fees and expenses.

Neptune BidCo and its parent, Neptune Intermediate, are controlled by a consortium of private-investment funds led by Elliott Investment Management and Brookfield Business Partners, along with institutional partners. Neptune Intermediate and certain subsidiaries will guarantee the notes, the company said.
