Bain Capital HCA Inc Hellman & Friedman JMI Equity KKR TPG 
Share:  <span class="company">Bain</span> Capital HCA Inc Hellman & Friedman JMI Equity KKR TPG...... As usual, we have a week’s worth of ratings actions on the debt of LBO backed companies from ratings agencies Moody’s Investors Service.

Yesterday we wrote about the pending Ohio factory closure by Hugo Boss, a publicly traded retailer controlled by private equity firm Permira. The central issue, of course, is money. What's odd, however, is that Permira seems to be making a questionable financial decision.

Just one hour ago, KKR portfolio company NorthgateArinso, a UK based provider of HR software and services company, signed a deal to buy the HR unit of Convergys for $100 million in cash. The paperwork originally was supposed to be finished up before market close, but sometimes these things take a bit longer than expected. I spent a few minutes on the phone with NorthgateArinso CEO Mike Ettling, shortly after the final T was crossed.

The new Tommy Hilfiger store on 5th Ave will close at 6pm tonight, in order to get ready for a private party being hosted by private equity firm Apax Partners. Maybe I'm just bored, but the news got my mind raicing. Could this party be related to a Women's Wear Daily about how Apax is looking to either sell Hilfiger or take it public?

Indianapolis based ExactTarget this morning announced  that it has acquired CoTweet, a customer relationship management tool that sprang up around Twitter in the fall of 2008. The deal is a natural match. Ten year old ExactTarget is a powerful email marketing company with more than 600 employees and north of $100 million a year, but it hadn't yet delved into the world of real time social media.
