Munich (dpa) - The industrial group Siemens has raised ten billion US dollars on the bond market.
The money will be used to finance the takeover of the US cancer specialist Varian by the subsidiary Siemens Healthineers, which was announced in August last year, as Siemens announced on Thursday evening.
Siemens Healthineers is acquiring Varian for $ 16.4 billion.
Siemens holds around 79 percent of Healthineers.
The bonds have terms of 2 to 20 years and are mostly fixed-interest.
"Siemens recorded its lowest interest costs to date on US dollar bonds over all terms," the company announced.
Siemens did not give any details about the interest rate.
