Dow Jones says that regulatory filings from when Thomas Nelson was first taken private in 2006 indicate that InterMedia Partners borrowed up to $292 million from Credit Suisse to finance the $473 million purchase. The wire service says that InterMedia has retained a minority interest in the publisher after selling a majority stake to Kohlberg & Co. Thomas Nelson spokesperson Lindsey Nobles “said the deal would make Thomas Nelson a more aggressive acquirer of other companies.”
