Good morning dealmakers, it’s Obey Martin Manayiti with the US edition of the Wire from the New York newsroom. The exit market has been slow for some time, as many PE firms hang on to their portfolio companies, in hopes of improved selling terms. We have a couple of exits today representing different sectors. Many dealmakers are cautiously optimistic about the revival of the exit market, and we are following all the trends at PE Hub. First, we look at Warburg Pincus’ recent sale of Sundyne to Honeywell. Stay tuned for some multiple details below, along with how trends such as onshoring helped scale Sundyne under Warburg ownership. Next, Clearview Capital announced the sale of Result Partners, a vineyard management and development services provider serving the Oregon and Washington wine industries, to Atlas Vineyard Management. Finally, Tinicum Holdings has agreed to sell Continental Disc Corporation, a Liberty, Missouri-based safety-critical pressure management provider to Baker Hughes for approximately $540 million. And before we close, let’s look at the S&P data that shows four M&A deals with a transaction value of more than $10 billion that were announced worldwide in May, putting the second quarter's deal count one shy of the first-quarter total.
