Sterling Software received acquisition financing.

The Dallas-based company said that institutional investors have agreed to finance its acquisition of Informatics General, the Woodland Hills software firm. Informatics’ board accepted Sterling’s $27-a-share, or $140-million, bid in June, after rejecting the company’s previous offers. Sterling has said it will issue high-yield debt securities and preferred stock to finance the transaction. Its tender offer for Informatics’ stock is scheduled to expire at midnight Wednesday.
