09:40 AM EDT, 03/14/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Citigroup ( C ) and Apollo Global Management (APO) are offering a private staple financing option for prospective buyers of Boeing's ( BA ) Jeppesen navigation unit, Bloomberg reported late Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The option would be the first private staple financing, which is a pre-arranged financing package offered to potential bidders for an acquisition, the report said.

The acquisition could be worth $7 billion, with debt financing ranging from $3 billion to $3.5 billion, the report said.

Talks are still ongoing, and the deal's terms and financing may change, the report said.

A Boeing ( BA ) representative told Bloomberg the company "does not comment on market rumors or speculation."

Citigroup ( C ) and Apollo did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
