Last month supermarket Asda, which took on significant debt after acquiring much of EG’s UK forecourt business, said it had refinanced £3.2 billion in loans, including the biggest Sterling high-yield bond this year and the second-largest sterling bond in the European leveraged finance market – only behind Asda’s original £2.25 billion Sterling bond tranche in 2021.
