Dun & Bradstreet Holdings (DNB) is in discussions to be acquired by private equity firm Veritas Capital Fund Management, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Veritas has reached out to banks to talk about funding a potential take-private deal for Dun & Bradstreet, the people reportedly said.
The transaction being discussed would value Dun & Bradstreet at roughly $5.4 billion, the report said, citing one of the people.
The data and analytics provider is also mulling the separation of its finance and risk unit from the sales and marketing business and is discussing those assets with potential strategic buyers, the people said, according to the report.
The people said a final decision hasn't been made and talks with Veritas could fall through, according to Bloomberg, which said that 9fin reported earlier that Veritas was among Dun & Bradstreet's suitors.
Dun & Bradstreet and Veritas didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
Shares of Dun & Bradstreet were down 6.8% in recent Friday trading.
