FLORHAM PARK, N.J., April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Conduent Incorporated (NYSE: CNDT) today announced it has entered into a binding agreement to sell its U.S. based
human resource consulting and actuarial business. The deal also includes human resource consulting and outsourcing businesses
located in Canada and the U.K. This business, formerly known as Buck Consultants, is being sold
to H.I.G. Capital, a global private equity investment firm.
These businesses, which represent approximately $278 million of the company's 2017 revenue,
are part of the previously announced Conduent plan to divest up to $500 million in revenue in
2018 associated with non-core assets across the company.
In the transaction, Conduent will retain certain assets in line with its core technology platform business, including Human
Resources Outsourcing (HRO), Total Benefits Outsourcing (TBO), BenefitWallet® and RightOpt®.
"With this divestiture, our Human Resource Services business is now built around a diverse set of services supported by a
portfolio of digital business platforms," said Christine Landry, group chief executive, Conduent,
Consumer & Industrials. "Together with our recent leadership
hires and platform improvements, we are well positioned to help our clients modernize their HR processes, create seamless
experiences for their employees and accelerate our growth in HR services."
The transaction, which is subject to certain regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the
third quarter of 2018.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is serving as exclusive financial advisor and Cravath Swaine & Moore LLP is serving as legal
counsel to Conduent.
Showcasing its commitment, Conduent recently announced the appointment of Tracy Amabile to lead
