(Reuters) – Hub International Ltd will be sold to funds managed by private equity firm Hellman & Friedman LLC in a deal that values the insurance brokerage at about $4.4 billion, Hub said on Monday.
Buyout firm Apax Partners and Morgan Stanley's private equity arm were exploring the sale of Hub after taking it private six years ago for about $1.8 billion, including $145 million of debt, Reuters reported in April, citing sources.
