New York, Oct. 19 – Royalty Pharma Holdings Ltd. borrowed $350 million under its existing five-year unsecured revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the acquisition of additional royalties on Roche’s Evrysdi from PTC Therapeutics Inc., according to an 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
The additional royalties are being purchased for $1 billion.
Other funds for the transaction will come from existing cash on the balance sheet.
