You may or may not have heard the news that Blackboard has agreed to be acquired by a private equity firm called Providence Equity for a total of $1.64 billion. Ray Henderson has a blog post about the acquisition here. I’m still completely overwhelmed trying to get up to speed on my new job, so I won’t have time to write an analysis of the deal. Lucky for you, Jim Farmer has offered to write one—in two parts, no less. I’m always interested to learn Jim’s perspective, particularly on financial and legal analysis. His first post will be up shortly.
