Thoma Bravo, a leading private equity firm, has acquired EQS Group AG, a German cloud provider in corporate compliance and ESG reporting, in a take-private deal.

Golub Capital, a global credit asset manager, acted as the sole lender on a senior credit facility to finance the transaction.

The deal marks Golub Capital’s first take-private financing in the German market and its 40th transaction with Thoma Bravo since 2018.

The acquisition will enable EQS Group AG to tap into the growing demand for compliance solutions in Europe and pursue further growth and expansion opportunities.
