Blackstone-Led Creditors Take Over Medallia, Invest $150 Million After Thoma Bravo Refusal
1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 17
Summary
$150 million in new capital will go into Medallia as Blackstone, Apollo Global Management and FS KKR take control of the struggling software company.
Thoma Bravo declined to inject fresh cash, pushing the creditor group to step in with a deal that Medallia said will significantly reduce its debt burden.
Medallia plans to use the balance-sheet relief and $500 million it had already committed to speed up its artificial intelligence efforts.
The takeover hands ownership to lenders as the software-as-a-service company tries to stabilize operations and fund its next growth push.
