Software company Compuware Corp. (CPWR) has restarted sale
efforts and has reached out to parties including CA Technologies
Inc. (CA), Reuters reported Friday, citing several people familiar
with the matter.
The Reuters report said "it could not be learned whether CA
Technologies would respond positively to Compuware's overtures and
pursue a bid."
Bain Capital and Golden Gate Capital, which agreed in May to buy
BMC Software Inc. (BMC), have discussed buying Compuware and
combining it with BMC, according to previous Wall Street Journal
reports.
Reuters reported that Compuware's advisers have contacted other
private equity firms that could team up with technology companies
on bids.
