Buyers circle Informa

14.07.08

Several of the world's largest buy-out firms are considering a counter bid for Informa, publisher of the shipping newspaper Lloyd's List.

At a function held by private equity investor Alpinvest Partners in London last week, dealmakers from Permira, KKR, and Blackstone all talked openly about how they could come up with an offer for Informa to rival the 506p-per-share approach submitted by Providence, Carlyle and Hellman & Friedman.
