York Holdings, the supermarket and stores firm that Bain Capital acquired from Seven & I Holdings last year, may consider potential mergers and acquisitions if attractive targets emerge, said a director at the retailer. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/07/07/companies/york-holdings-potential-acquisition-bain/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #seveniholdings #baincapital #yorkholdings #seveneleven #conveniencestores #supermarkets #mergers #acquisitions

This won't be the end of this controversy, but a California court did not dismiss claims against Bain Capital over the PowerSchool data breach. In considering the timeline and the private equity firm's actions before and after its acquisition of PowerSchool in 2024, the court noted, in part:

"Post-closing, Bain directed PowerSchool to offshore cybersecurity, engineering, and IT functions to contractors, including offshoring required data-management tools that enabled vendors to bypass consent protocols and access protected school district computers directly.

Bain failed to assess data-breach risks from the offshoring it directed.

Post-closing, Bain directed layoffs of at least 5% of PowerSchool’s workforce, including critical domestic IT staff."

yahoo news | Mubadala, Bain Capital to acquire minority stake in Apleona

Abu Dhabi‑based sovereign investor Mubadala Investment Company has entered into an agreement to purchase a minority shareholding in Apleona, one of Europe’s largest integrated facility‑management groups. The deal is being made through a consortium chaired by Bain Capital’s European private‑equity team and is aimed at fueling Apleona’s expansion across the continent, helping it cement its position as the leading provider of real‑estate and technical facility‑management services. Apleona currently operates in more than 30 countries with a workforce of over 40 000 employees, managing assets across all real‑estate classes, production sites and cross‑regional portfolios.

The partnership will also accelerate Apleona’s focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) solutions. The company is rolling out products that cut energy consumption and CO₂ emissions in buildings, investing heavily in data‑driven and AI‑based control systems for heating, ventilation and air‑conditioning (HVAC), and expanding predictive‑maintenance capabilities for building technology. To date, Apleona has integrated 14 strategic acquisitions across Europe, highlighted by the 2023 purchase of the Gegenbauer Group, and plans to use the new capital to broaden its European platform and speed up its digital transformation.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Mubadala’s industrial‑sector head Zouhir Regragui said the investment reflects confidence in Apleona’s market leadership and its growth trajectory, while Bain Capital will work closely with Apleona’s management, led by Dr Jochen Keysberg, to support the next phase of the company’s development.

Bain Capital crypto, lobbying for financial deregulation regularly targeting the #SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), while choosing to promote an all-male team on International #Women’s Day (so they DO know a thing or two about announcements timing).
