  "summary": "Paramount Skydance is set to sell over US$44 billion (S$56 billion) of bonds in USD and EUR to fund its acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery, marking the largest M&A financing of the year. The transaction, which is part of a US$52 billion (S$66 billion) financing package, includes US$7.5 billion (S$9.5 billion) in loans. Bank of America and Citigroup will hold investor calls on Sept 28 to discuss the sale of about US$32 billion (S$40 billion) of investment-grade debt and US$12.4 billion (S$15.8 billion)-equivalent of junk bonds. The high-grade bonds will have maturities ranging from two to 40 years, while the junk-bond deal will consist of two euro-denominated tranches with maturities in five and eight years, and three US dollar notes with maturities in five, eight and 10 years. The offering comes as Treasury yields have surged to new multi-decade highs, with the stalemate between the US and Iran boosting oil prices and dragging down stocks and bonds.",
