Commvault explores potential sale after takeover interest

Data protection software provider COMMVAULT SYSTEMS INC is exploring a potential sale after receiving takeover interest from multiple parties. The company, which maintains a market capitalization of approximately $3.5 billion, is working with GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC to evaluate its strategic options after fielding inquiries from both private equity firms and strategic buyers.

Among the potential suitors is the buyout firm Thoma Bravo, which has reportedly expressed interest in recent weeks. Sources indicate that the firm may have previously made an offer for the company, though the specific terms and timing of that proposal were not disclosed. Representatives for Commvault, Goldman Sachs, and Thoma Bravo have declined to comment on the matter.
