LONDON (Reuters) - Buyout firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts has bought Norway software company Visma for an enterprise value of 1.2 billion pounds ($1.88 billion) from private equity firm HgCapital, the companies said on Sunday.
HgCapital, which will retain a 17.7 percent stake in Visma, said the sale will deliver a return of 3.7 times its investment. The return is in line with its recent sales of other accounting software businesses.
Visma provides business software and process outsourcing in Scandinavia.
