Portland, Ore., Aug. 1 – CDK Global plans to price a $755 million issue of first-lien secured notes due June 15, 2029 on Wednesday, according to market sources.

The deal, which was set to kick off on a Tuesday morning conference call with investors, has initial price talk in the low-to-mid 8% area, according to a sellside source.
