UPS to finance TNT buy mostly with cash


United Parcel Service (UPS) said Friday it has put in place financing to complete the acquisition of Amsterdam-based TNT Express.
In a move likely to alter the express delivery landscape in Europe, UPS in March reached a deal to buy TNT for €5.16 billion ($6.8 billion). The Atlanta-based company said it will finance the purchase with €3.7 billion of available cash on its balance sheet and €1.46 billion in debt through existing credit facilities.
UPS formally submitted the deal for approval to the Netherlands financial markets authority. It aims to close the transaction in the current quarter.
