The transaction will be funded through a combination of Altimar Acquisition's cash in trust and an $80 million fully committed common stock PIPE at $10.00 per share. Read more here on PE Hub.

A CalPERS spokesperson told me the system hadn’t yet decided whether subscription lines of credit would be part of the program. Check it out here.

They said it “What we’ve tried to do is take the multiple, and take the emotional gut reaction to the multiple out of the conversation, because for us, you’re paying the market-clearing price. We can try to rationalize it by looking out to 2022, but at the end of the day, what you pay now is only going to work if you’re able to grow how we expect.” Megan Preiner, managing director at Thomas H. Lee Partners, talks to PE Hub about navigating prices in the market.
