MaintainX Acquisition to Bolster Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK) Prospects as One of the Best Falling Stocks to Invest In
Autodesk (ADSK) amended its credit agreements to fund its planned acquisition of MaintainX. According to a regulatory filing, it raised its unsecured revolving credit facility to $2.0B from $1.5B with Citibank, enabling up to $1.0B for the deal, and added an unsecured 364-day delayed-draw term loan of $1.0B. The all-cash acquisition is valued at $3.6B.
