Schoenherr, working with Jones Day, has advised HES International on its EUR 1 billion debt capital raise. Wardynski and Partners, working with Latham & Watkins, advised the National Westminster Bank and Kroll Trustee Services Limited on the raise.
HES International is a European independent bulk handling company. It provides transshipment, storage, blending, and processing services of dry bulk and liquid bulk products at 18 sites across six countries.
According to Schoenherr, "HES's Polish subsidiary served as the guarantor, securing the financing with its assets. The funding will support HES's growth strategy and portfolio diversification. The transaction included contributions from relationship bank lenders and institutional investors, marking HES's debut in the US Private Placement market."
