RE:RE:RE:RE:The problemInteresting. It was always a takeover candidate given the backing from Carlyle and Hellman Friedman private equity shops. Was public only briefly (<2 years) yet has 18 ANALYSTS COVERING IT! Shows you how the PE/VC guys DEMAND coverage for their names and they get it. Both firms still have 2-3 guys on the Board from their firms.
I know THTX isn't a PE backed firm, but having some smart money guys on the Board is very valuable and they should learn that from seeing the value creation with PPD in a bried amount of time. Soleus and whomever else they brought on with the OO is the closest they will get to having those intros and favors pulled in. They need to hit while Soleus is still hot on them.
