Centerbridge-Backed Suntex Marinas Said to Tap BofA for U.S. IPO

Suntex Marinas Investors LLC, an owner and operator of marinas across the U.S. backed by Centerbridge Partners LP, has hired a lead underwriter as it prepares for a U.S. initial public offering, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Any transaction may value the company at more than $3 billion and is dependent on market conditions, the person said.
