A consortium of seven private investment firms is paying $10.8 billion to acquire financial data powerhouse SunGard Data Systems in the nation's second-largest leveraged buyout ever. Under the terms of the agreement, SunGard stockholders will receive $36 in cash for each share of SunGard common stock they hold. Also $500 million in bonds will remain outstanding, so the total transaction is valued at $11.3 billion.
The deal would be exceeded in size among takeovers of public companies by private investors only by the Kohlberg Kravis Roberts $29.4 billion purchase of RJR Nabisco in 1989.
SunGard creates a variety of financial software, including products that manage complex stock trades, insurance holdings, mutual funds and corporate finances.
(SunGard purchased an employer of mine back in 1999.)
