How Many Deals Has Carlyle Done This Year?
It seems like the Carlyle Group is announcing a deal, or rumored to be involved in one, just about every day. The politically connected PE firm disclosed today that it is investing in Sandler O'Neill, the New York investment bank. On Monday, a Carlyle-led investor group agreed to inject up to $200 million in Brand Group Holdings, the parent company of Brand Banking Co. Carlyle was also said to be bidding on Indonesia's Matahari hypermart business earlier this week. South Korea's Lotte Shopping is also bidding, according to my co-workers at Thomson Reuters. Last week was also a busy time for the mega buyout shop. Carlyle announced two transactions: a $2.9 billion deal for CommScope and $2 billion agreement for Syniverse Technology.
