GIC joins investment group to buy BMC Software for US$6.9 billion

San Francisco Chronicle, 6 May 2013
May 6 (Bloomberg) -- Bain Capital LLC and Golden Gate Capital agreed to acquire BMC Software Inc., a struggling technology provider that failed to find a buyer last year, for $6.9 billion in the third-largest private-equity deal of 2013.
The buyout investors, which also include GIC Special Investments Pte Ltd. and Insight Venture Partners, agreed to pay $46.25 a share in cash, BMC said in a statement. That’s a 13 percent premium over the closing price on March 4, before Bloomberg reported that BMC had drawn renewed takeover interest. Full story
