Bullet Points
full article available thru above link!)
*Private equity firm Thoma Bravo is in early talks to acquire all of McAfee from TPG and Intel, sources say.
*TPG acquired a majority stake in McAfee in 2017 in a deal that valued the cybersecurity company at $4.2 billion.
*Thoma Bravo would pay a "significant" premium to $4.2 billion if a deal occurs, sources say.
*Thoma Bravo isn't likely to pursue a deal for Symantec if it acquires McAfee, sources say.
*Talks may still fall apart and a deal announcement isn't expected soon, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private.
*Reuters reported in November that Thoma Bravo had approached Symantec with a takeover offer. A deal for McAfee would rule out a Symantec purchase, one of the people said.
