Oct 28 (Reuters) -Private equity firm BC Partners said on Monday it had agreed to sell its controlling stake in GardaWorld in a deal that values the Canadian security services company at C$13.5 billion ($9.72 billion).
GardaWorld founder and CEO Stephan Cretier along with some management executives will buy a 70% stake, the companies said.
Private credit firm HPSInvestment Partners, leading a group of minority investors, will hold the remaining equity interest. BC Partners will also continue to hold a minority stake inGardaWorld.
The transaction is expected to close by Feb. 28, according to GardaWorld, which provides security services to clients in sectors including manufacturing and real estate.
BC Partners had acquired a majority stake in GardaWorld in 2019 through a bilateral transaction, which valued the Montreal-based company at C$5.2 billion, the largest private buyout in Canadian history at the time.
"Since partnering with GardaWorld in 2019, we have seen the company go from strength to strength, with operating profit more than doubling to over C$1 billion," said Paolo Notarnicola, partner and co-head of services at BC Partners.
BC Partners has generated more than 11 billion euros ($11.90 billion) after selling off some of its portfolio companies including Forno d'Asolo Group, IMA Industria Automatiche SpA, and Presidio over the past 18 months, it said.
