SolarWinds exploring options, including potential sale, Bloomberg says

SolarWinds is working with financial advisers to explore options, including a potential sale, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg’s Ryan Gould and Gillian Tan. The publicly traded software company controlled by Silver Lake Management and Thoma Bravo is preparing for a sale process that is expected to kick off early next year, according to the report’s sources. SolarWinds shares are up about 6% to $9.39 in Friday morning trading following Bloomberg’s report published last night.
