Shapoorji Pallonji Group has secured relief on its $3.4 billion private credit debt through a refinancing plan that includes a $1 billion bond offering. The Indian real estate and construction conglomerate is refinancing maturing rupee-denominated debt at its Goswami Infratech unit, due 30 April, with a three-year offshore bond and local debt. Deutsche Bank is serving as sole arranger. The refinancing follows the group's May 2025 $3.4 billion private credit deal, backed by a 9.185% stake in Tata Sons. This marks the group's third major private credit financing in under three years. Investors remain cautious about collateral enforceability, particularly regarding the group's 18.37% stake in Tata Sons, valued at approximately $37 billion. Goswami Infratech previously defaulted on asset monetisation deadlines, leading to covenant breaches.
Grifols, a global healthcare company and plasma-derived medicines producer, has successfully refinanced all 2027 maturities with a significantly upsized €3 billion Term Loan B.

The USD tranche was priced at SOFR + 250 with an original issue discount of 99.25, whilst the euro tranche was set at Euribor + 300 basis points with an OID of 99.75. Proceeds will refinance existing TLB maturities and repay €740 million of senior secured notes due in 2027. Upon completion, a €1.75 billion revolving credit facility will become effective, supported by major international banks including BofA, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.
Deutsche Bank has cut its price target on Flowers Foods (NYSE:FLO) to $7 from $11, maintaining a Hold rating. The firm cited widespread pressures across the consumer packaged goods sector linked to Middle East conflict, with cost inflation, trade-down risk and currency fluctuations weighing on the industry. On the same day, Flowers Foods announced that chief growth officer Terry Thomas will step down and the role will be eliminated. The position, created in 2023, is being folded into the company's broader structure. Mark Courtney, chief brand officer, will assume additional responsibilities including retail customer sales, innovation and revenue management, reporting directly to CEO McMullian. Flowers Foods produces and markets packaged bakery foods across the United States, operating bakeries nationwide with brands including Nature's Own and Dave's Killer Bread.
