TPG is a leading global private investment firm founded in 1992 with over $70 billion of assets under management. TPG invests across a wide range of asset classes, including private equity, growth venture, real estate, credit and public equity.
The deal, announced July 18, is expected to close during the third quarter of 2016. Additional terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
