BearingPoint to sell business units to Deloitte, PwC

In the biggest move since filing for Chapter 11 reorganization, BearingPoint Inc. late Monday night announced plans to sell most of its business units.

The McLean-based technology and management consulting services company agreed to sell a "significant portion" of its biggest unit, its public services division, to Deloitte for $350 million. The company did not provide further details.

The purchase agreement requires the company to consider all "higher and better" offers from other potential buyers and is subject to bankruptcy court approval, according to a statement.

The company also said it has signed a nonbinding letter of intent to sell a substantial portion of its North American commercial services business, including its financial services segment, to PricewaterhhouseCoopers for $25 million. A PwC unit in Japan will buy BearingPoint's practice there.

The company also is in late-stage talks to sell its European and Latin American practices to local management teams. Talks are also ongoing to sell its Asian practices to unidentified buyers.

“Since we entered the restructuring process, we’ve been committed to evaluating all strategic options with the goal of charting the best possible course for the people, clients and creditors of BearingPoint,” said Bearing Point CEO Ed Harbach in the statement.

The company (OTCBB: BGPTQ) filed for bankruptcy protection last month under the weight of $1 billion in debt after efforts to sell all or parts of the company failed. BearingPoint has requested approval to pay millions of dollars in retention bonuses to hundreds of management and director-level employees as part of its plans to reorganize.

“We have concluded that a sale of the company’s business units maximizes value and provides the greatest stability for all interested parties,” Harbach said. “We are pleased that several parties have expressed interest in purchasing the majority of the company.”

是啊，是chapter 11了，但是chapter 7是所有人都不愿意看到的，包括管理层债权人员工等等。
你看看commercial service才卖了几个钱啊...简直是便宜到家了。
CS是仅次于public service的，在美国的第二大部门。be japan practice是一直到现在都一直盈利的部门，所以也有人买。置于欧洲，拉丁美洲和亚太其他地区，就无人问津了
