Blackstone Group is unloading one of its largest Chinese assets to China-based shipping and airline giant HNA Group for $675M in cash.
The world’s largest private equity firm struck a deal in August to sell Pactera Technology International, its information-technology outsourcing firm, though it has yet to close. Pactera Technology is valued at $930M including debt, and Blackstone is looking to get a 1.5% return on the sale, people close to the deal told Nasdaq.
Pactera’s operating margins have weakened over the past year, falling below 3% in the first nine months of 2015. [Nasdaq]
