The Bundesbank said on Friday it had sold Excalibur to Lone Star for an undisclosed sum. The vehicle has a nominal value of 1.4 billion euros ($1.8 billion), compared with 2.16 billion originally. The deal is due to close at the end of the month. Excalibur is the largest position in a portfolio of assets which Lehman had posted as collateral at the Bundesbank for taking 8.5 billion euros from the European Central Bank in 2008.
