Nothing that is public that I've seen says this is true. You can get a bridge loan for $1b backed by whatever iliquid assets you have from any major bank, and then it's up to you how quickly you want to unwind other things. The loan might even be interest free if the bank wants to keep Adobe's business for other M&A activities.

- vasco 3y agoI used the term bridge loan as a sort of umbrella term that might be technically not the best as my training isn't in finance and I know some of this stuff from exposure by proximity. What I'm referring to sometimes is also called a revolving line of credit, the most famous case was Enron's revolvers for example. The point is big banks will normally allow companies to take out large short term loans for this type of thing, usually having large amounts pre-approved.
