McGraw Hill Files for Public Offering
More than a decade after McGraw Hill was sold to the private equity firm Apollo Global Management LLC for $2.5 billion, Platinum Equity, which bought the company in 2021 for $4.5 billion, has filed a prospectus with the Securities & Exchange Commission to take the company public. According to the announcement, the initial public offering price is expected to be between $19.00 and $22.00 per share and MH intends to use the net proceeds of roughly $530 million from the offering to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its term loan credit facility. If MH gets its asking price for the shares, the company would have a valuation of about $4 billion.
