Mizuho EMEA has completed the pricing of Infra Group, bringing its total physical bookrunner roles closed in the European leveraged loan market over the last nine months to 10.

Pricing of Infra Group was completed on Friday 21 June, and follows deals with Apleona, Sector Alarm, AlterDomus, Norgine, Barentz, group.one, Deutsche Fachpflege, Synlab, and Theramex.

This achievement marks the success of the firm’s sponsor coverage and leverage finance (SCLF) business, it said, which was rebuilt in 2019.

Commenting on the results, Matt Naber, head of SCLF, said: “Despite the initial headwinds of COVID, geopolitical events, and rising interest rates, these deals are testament to the progress that the team is making and validation of the controlled growth strategy we have implemented.”

Ramon Walsh, head of SCLF origination and execution, added: “the team continues to build its capabilities in leveraged capital markets, while broadening our product offering to sponsor infrastructure financing, derivative risk solutions, and focusing on a partnership approach centred around strong personal and capital relationships.”
