Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Davis Polk & Wardwell have taken the lead advisory roles on Twitter’s $1.3bn (£800m) convertible bond fundraising. 

The bond, which is split into two $650m tranches maturing in five and seven years respectively, will be put towards acquisitions and expansions by Twitter. It marks its first foray into debt markets, adding to its pre-existing revolving credit line of $1bn with a Morgan Stanley affiliate.
