The charitable foundation was created by founder Peter Schnell in the 1990s.\nA representative for Software declined to comment.\nGermany has proved to be one Europe’s hottest regions for private equity dealmaking amid the global boom in mergers and acquisitions. Private equity firms have spent more than $100 billion on deals involving a German company since the start of 2019 and hit a value record last year, Bloomberg data show.\nHigh-profile takeovers of public German companies this year include EQT AB and Hellman & Friedman’s joint purchase of online pet supplies groupZooplus AG, Brookfield Asset Management Inc.’s acquisition of real estate firm Alstria Office REIT-AG, and Carlyle Group Inc.’s bid to take rail infrastructure tech provider Schaltbau Holding AG private.\nFounded in 1969, Software is an enterprise software developer that serves more than 10,000 businesses. It customers include 50% of Fortune 500 companies, according to its website. The company posted revenue of 599 million euros in the first nine months of the year, broadly flat on the same period in 2020,accounts for the period show.\nSuch business have proved to be popular with private equity firms, which are drawn to the stable revenue streams their subscription models can generate. In September, U.K. software group Blue Prism Group Plcre commended a 1.1 billion-pound ($1.5 billion) takeover from Vista Equity Partners and is now also reviewing a potential rival bid from SS&C Technologies Holdings Inc.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":110,"commentSize":15,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
