Paul Hastings Represents InterGen in $3.4 Billion Debt Recapitalization

Washington, D.C. (October 22, 2007) – Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, a leading international law firm, announced today that the firm advised InterGen, a leading global power generation company, in raising $3.4 billion in debt and revolving credit facilities to refinance its debt at the parent company level and repay project level debt associated with certain of InterGen’s power plants in the United Kingdom and Mexico. The financing, which closed on July 31, 2007, consists of a $1.875 billion issuance of InterGen’s senior secured bonds in dollars, euros and pounds sterling and $1.52 billion in senior secured term loans and multi-currency revolving credit facilities.

We were proud to be part of the InterGen team that brought this deal to a successful conclusion in the face of increasingly volatile debt markets this summer.”
