Business software vendor BMC Software has agreed to sell itself to a consortium of private investors led by buyout firms Bain Capital and Golden Gate Capital for $6.9 billion in cash, the companies announced on May 6.

Under the deal terms, the investor group—which also includes Insight Venture Partners and GIC Special Investments—will pay $46.25 per share to acquire all outstanding BMC stock. BMC will also receive a 30-day "go-shop" period where it may solicit rival bids from other potential buyers.
