UPDATE: NIELSEN HOLDINGS TO SELL GLOBAL CONNECT BUSINESS TO ADVENT INTERNATIONAL

Minutes ago we announced that our Board of Directors has decided to sell the Nielsen Global Connect business to Advent International, one of the largest and most experienced global private equity investors, for $2.7 billion. Advent will run it as a privately held company.

We are thrilled with this terrific and advantageous outcome, which will allow all of our Nielsen Global Connect people to work with an owner in Advent who sees the powerful value of this business and is keen to invest in the business to accelerate its growth and help it achieve its long-term potential.

Advent has expressed tremendous excitement about the opportunities ahead for Nielsen Global Connect and for our industry. They are acquiring the business not just because it provides clients with the broadest, most trusted and most complete set of data and insights available today, but also because of our potential for growth in both the sectors we serve as well as new verticals. Advent will supercharge Nielsen Global Connect’s efforts and ensure that this business remains essential to our clients for another century. As planned, the Nielsen Global Connect business will be headquartered in Chicago.

This sale of Nielsen Global Connect to Advent creates certainty for all stakeholders and will deliver substantial value sooner than was anticipated through the planned spin-off.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, and is subject to approval of Nielsen’s shareholders as well as other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Advent is working with Jim Peck, a well-known operator who has a proven track record for growing information services businesses, delivering margin expansion and accelerating organic growth. David Rawlinson will remain CEO of Nielsen Global Connect through the close of the transaction and is expected to be part of the leadership team for the go-forward company. Peck will be involved in the day-to-day strategic and operational activities of Nielsen Global Connect post transaction.

The transaction will also allow Nielsen Global Media to significantly reduce debt and will provide added financial flexibility for the go-forward company.

Over the past year, we have made great progress towards separating our two companies, which will position both businesses to thrive and also help us execute this transaction efficiently. We are so excited about what the future will bring for all of us and for our businesses, and I hope you are too.

If you’d like more detail about the investment, please see our press release. Please make sure to join our Global Town Hall tomorrow at 9:30 AM ET or the rebroadcast at 9:00 PM ET (both invites have already been added to your calendar) to talk through our ongoing strategy.
