# JPMorgan's Big Deal Isn't Going Smoothly

JPMorgan is running into some friction on a $7.2 billion debt deal tied to Clayton Dubilier & Rice's takeover of Sealed Air , as investors start to push back on the structure.

The financing is meant to support CD&R's $10.3 billion all-cash acquisition of Sealed Air at $42.15 per share. On paper, demand looks decent, with about $5 billion in orders. But when you look closer, it's uneven. The bond portion, around $2.45 billion, is getting solid interest, while the loan side, roughly $4.7 billion, is seeing a slower response.

The sticking point seems to be flexibility. Some investors are uncomfortable with clauses that could allow CD&R to spin off parts of Sealed Air's business after the deal closes, which could change the risk profile of what they're buying into.

There's also a bit of background noise here. The recent bankruptcy of Multi-Color, another CD&R portfolio company, is making some buyers more cautious about the broader track record.
