Nielsen Co., the TV audience measurement company, which four years ago was taken private for $10.2 billion by a group including Blackstone Group and Carlyle Group, is planning an IPO, according to Bloomberg, which cites “a person with knowledge of the plans.”
Other investors in the company include KKR, Thomas H. Lee Partners, AlpInvest and Hellman & Friedman.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Websites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other websites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
