(Bloomberg) -- Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s
banks postponed a deadline to finance the buyout of Alliance
Boots Plc after failing to raise enough demand for the 9 billion
pounds ($18.5 billion) of loans, said a banker involved.
KKR and lenders led by Deutsche Bank AG started offering
the debt to investors three weeks ago and had asked them to
commit no later than today. The underwriting banks are now
giving potential investors until next week to join the loan with
the extra time designed to boost participation, said the banker
on the deal, who declined to be identified because the
discussions are private.
