PE-backed Findus Mulls Fundraising

Findus, a food group owned by buyout firm Lion Capital, has approached its lending syndicate of banks to discuss funding expanding the business, Reuters reported. Findus did not say how much would raise, although the Sunday Telegraph newspaper previously reported it was looking to raise a 1 billion pound ($1.64 billion) acquisition war chest, Reuters said. Lion Capital bought Findus in 2008.
