Apologies for the delay, readers. Here's today's rundown of PE deal news.

Quick reminder -- deadline for Deal of the Year submissions is coming up quick. We need all submissions by Feb. 12, which will give us enough time for our vetting process. To answer a FAQ, we ask for as much information as possible, including financials. We keep all information confidential; in the case of winners, we get back to the firm to find out exactly what info we can use in our write up of the winning deal.

For more information, go here to download the official rules and regs. You can send all submissions to me at [email protected].
