WS Atkins in US private placement
Engineering consultancy group WS Atkins is looking to raise $75m (£46.5m) in the US fixed income markets via a private placement, it said yesterday. The firm’s first foray into the US markets will see it sell seven-year notes with a coupon of 4.38 per cent. It will use funds raised to repay drawn funds and support its growth plans.
