(Alliance News) - BridgePoint Group PLC has agreed to buy a majority stake in the former KPMG UK restructuring business Interpath, the Financial Times and Sky News reported on Monday.
London-based Bridgepoint is a fund management company that invests in private equity, infrastructure, and private credit.
FT sources said the FTSE 250-listed company has struck a deal to buy Interpath for about GBP800 million, in line with the valuation sought by its owners.
The sale to Bridgepoint secures an exit for Interpath's private equity owner HIG Capital, which bought the business from accounting firm KPMG for about GBP380 million in 2021 and has expanded the business internationally.
Charles Welham, a partner at Bridgepoint, told the FT: "Interpath has moved quickly from a UK only business to establish a strong pan-European platform, which makes it a natural fit for Bridgepoint."
"We are excited to get going together, putting more momentum behind scaling the business in key markets," he added.
Sky News said Blackstone Inc, Onex Corp, PAI Partners and Permira were among the other bidders which expressed interest in acquiring Interpath.
The FT noted that since spinning out of KPMG, Interpath has branched out from restructuring to adjacent areas such as corporate finance advice. It has opened offices across France, Germany, Spain and Hong Kong, and employs about 1,000 people across 12 countries.
Accounts filed at Companies House on Sunday show Interpath fell to a pre-tax loss of GBP8.1 million for the year to March 2025 on revenue of GBP198.1 million, the FT said.
Shares in Bridgepoint were up 1.6% at 284.20 pence each in London on Monday morning.
