KKR said to weigh sale or IPO for BMC Software, Bloomberg reports

KKR is again reviewing options to exit IT solutions firm BMC Software, which could be worth about $15B including debt in a sale or initial public offering, Bloomberg’s Ryan Gould, Dinesh Nair, and Katie Roof report, citing people familiar with the matter. The buyout firm has received inbound interest from other private equity firms interested in potentially acquiring BMC, according to the people. While no final decisions have been made, KKR still favors an IPO of the business, which was filed confidentially last year with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a listing, they said.
