Carlyle's Sedgwick valued at $13.2 bln in investment deal with Altas
Adds Stone Point co-CEO quote in paragraph 6
Sept 12 (Reuters) -Carlyle-owned CG.O claims management company Sedgwick said on Thursday it had secured an investment from private equity firm Altas Partners via a deal that valued it at $13.2 billion.
The valuation is much higher than the $6.7 billion Sedgwick was worth when Carlylemade its initial investment in the company in 2018.
Altas' investment in Sedgwick underscores a gradual resurgence in private equity deals as firms look to put their cash to work. Hopes of an imminent rate cut are also prompting a cautiously optimistic stance from private equity sponsors.
Altas has committed to invest $1 billion of equity as part of the transaction, Sedgwick said.
Sedgwick's current investors, Carlyle and Stone Point Capital, will stay on and continue to invest in the business.
"We have known the Sedgwick leadership team for many years and are thrilled to continue the partnership alongside Carlyle and Altas," said Jim Carey, co-CEO of Stone Point.
Morgan Stanley and BofA Securities served as Sedgwick's financial advisersfor the deal, while J.P. Morgan Securities and Barclays advised Altas.
Sedgwick is a global provider of claims management, loss adjusting and technology-enabled business solutions that helps companies manage their insurance claims such as workers' compensation.
