1. N-able在吸引收購興趣後考慮出售 - 路透社

Software firm N-able may be exploring a sale, according to Reuters, which cited 'people familiar with the matter' as their source. N-able has a market value of about $2.5 billion, according to Reuters, and is exploring a sale after attracting acquisition interest. The Burlington, Massachusetts-based company, which counts two private equity firms - Silver Lake and Thoma Bravo - as major investors, is running a sale process in which peers in the software sector and private equity firms are participating, the sources said. One of its suitors is cybersecurity company Barracuda Networks, which is owned by buyout firm KKR, the sources added, cautioning that no deal is certain and asking not to be identified because the matter is confidential. N-Able was spun out in 2021 from management software firm SolarWinds which was acquired by Silver Lake and Thoma Bravo for $4.5 billion in 2016. The two buyout firms now own about a third of N-Able each. KKR acquired Barracuda from Thoma Bravo for about $4 billion in 2022. Silver Lake, N-Able, and KKR declined to comment. Thoma Bravo and Barracuda did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
