But for some CM/ PM firms, opportunities are opening up to help them find funding for clients constrained by tight budgets. |

The deal, announced in November, is set to close in mid-2011. Caterpillar won’t issue $2 billion in equity to underwrite the purchase, as once planned. Rather, the Peoria, Ill., construction equipment maker is paying for Bucyrus through a combination of cash on hand and debt in the form of a $4.5-billion, five-part bond sale. The purchase is Caterpillar’s largest acquisition to date. |
