Another consortium eyes Informa
Taylor & Francis parent company Informa has received a second approach, believed to be from a private equity consortium led by Blackstone, reports the Times. In a statement, the group said that it “has received a preliminary approach from a further third party and as a result is providing access to information materials”.
It is understood that Blackstone has obtained information on Informa and is considering an approach with two other private equity groups — Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Permira. Dubai World Trade Center, one of the largest events organisers in the Middle East, is also reported to be part of the consortium.
