Carlyle, the world’s second-largest private equity firm, is taking Booz Allen public in the biggest week for U.S. initial offerings since 2008.
Other independent public offerings (IPO) have a Carlyle tie. GM is headed by ex-Carlyle manager Daniel Akerson. Harrah's is a holding in Carlyle Mezzanine Partners II, like Booz Allen Hamilton. Maybe, ARINC will sell this week. It's on the block.
Update 6-7-11: Uncle Sam keeps on giving to Booz, still majority owned by Carlyle.
Update 9-2-11: BAH traded down over 6% to close at $15.02. Bad timing for Carlyle's IPO.
