The hedge fund on Monday announced the launch of senior notes.
While it did not say how large the offering was, sources said it was about $1 billion — though jitters in Europe about Greece had raised uncertainty about the amount.
The bond offering comes just eight months after the activist investor raised $3 billion by taking one of his funds public on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.
Ackman plans to use the debt proceeds to help the fund take on a big target, according to an individual who was on a conference call for potential investors earlier this month.
