Canyon Capital and Platinum Equity made a $3.2bn bid for Navient Corporation, a US corporation based in Wilmington, Delaware, whose operations include servicing and collecting on student loans,. The $12.50 per share offer represents a premium of 6.6% over Navient’s most recent closing price on February 15, 2019 of $11.73 per share and a discount of 2.8% to the one-year volume-weighted average price of $12.86 per share. Navient rejected the offer.
