Pillsbury has advised leading enterprise software company CA, Inc. on an $850 million dual-tranche senior notes offering. The transaction was managed by J.P. Morgan, BofA Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, which priced on March 15 and closed—on a T+2 basis—March 17.

CA intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes including financing of the company’s recent acquisition of a leading SAAS-based secure devOps platform provider Veracode. That purchase is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018.

The Pillsbury team advising CA on the matter included partner Todd Eckland and associate Lexi Calcado. Partners Harsha Reddy (Tax) and Peter Hunt (ERISA) and counsel Jessica Lutrin (ERISA) were also involved.
