知情人士周五表示,私募股权投资公司托马·布拉沃正在探索出售市值为30亿美元的美国教育软件提供商Instructure(INST.N),打开新标签页。

Thoma Bravo, which holds an 83% stake in the company, has tapped JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), opens new tab to gauge the interest of potential buyers that include other buyout firms, the sources said.

消息人士称,持有该公司83%股份的托马·布拉沃已利用摩根大通(JPM.N)打开新选项卡,以评估包括其他收购公司在内的潜在买家的兴趣。

The sources cautioned no deal is certain and requested anonymity because the matter is confidential.

Shares in Instructure, which carried debt of close to $1.2 billion at the end of March, jumped 9% to $22 in afterhours trading in New York on the news.

消息传出后,截至3月底负债接近12亿美元的Instructure的股价在纽约盘后交易中上涨了9%,至22美元。

Based in Salt Lake City, Instructure provides software to schools, colleges and universities. It has over 8,000 customers in more than 100 countries.

Instructure总部位于盐湖城,为学校、学院和大学提供软件。它在 100 多个国家拥有 8,000 多名客户。

The company's flagship learning management system is called Canvas and competes with programs such as Google Classroom, Blackboard Learn and Schoology.

该公司的旗舰学习管理系统名为Canvas,可与谷歌课堂、Blackboard Learn和Schoology等项目竞争。

Thoma Bravo took Instructure private in 2020 for $2 billion before returning it to the stock market a year later through an initial public offering. Instructure's shares are still hovering around their $20 IPO price three years later, as a boom the company enjoyed from spending on remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic fizzled when competition from rivals intensified.

托马·布拉沃在2020年以20亿美元的价格将Instructure私有化,然后在一年后通过首次公开募股将其重返股票市场。三年后,Instructure的股价仍徘徊在20美元的首次公开募股价格附近,因为随着竞争对手的竞争加剧,该公司在 COVID-19 疫情期间从远程学习支出中获得的繁荣逐渐消失。

Earlier this year, Instructure completed the acquisition of academic credential management platform Parchment for $835 million.

今年早些时候,Instructure以8.35亿美元的价格完成了对学术证书管理平台Parchment的收购。
