Blackstone acquires Cvent stake from Vista in $1.3bn deal
Blackstone has acquired the remaining stake in US-based Cvent from Vista Equity Partners for $1.3bn, reported Bloomberg, citing sources. The transaction marks Vista's complete exit from Cvent, a Virginia-based software company. Vista retained this stake following Blackstone's $4.6bn acquisition of Cvent in 2023. Representatives from both Vista and Blackstone declined to comment on the deal. Cvent's platform provides software tools designed for event planners and marketers, enabling online registration, venue sourcing, event marketing and management, virtual and in-person event solutions, and attendee interaction. Founded in 1999, Cvent had more than 5,000 employees and more than 24,000 customers worldwide as of 31 December 2024. Vista initially invested in Cvent in 2016, purchasing the company for approximately $1.7bn. Throughout its ownership, Cvent navigated the challenges posed by the pandemic, which severely impacted the events and hospitality sector. The company has since rebounded, with a surge in events and the adoption of hybrid in-person and virtual conferences. Vista had previously rolled a portion of its ownership into Blackstone's take-private of Cvent through a non-convertible preferred equity investment. The acquisition is the second recent monetisation event for Vista, which recently raised $5.6bn to maintain its ownership of Cloud Software Group. Investors in Vista's fifth buyout fund received a 4.1 multiple on invested capital if they opted to cash out. In May, Vista agreed to acquire Acumatica, a cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions provider for small and mid-sized businesses. The deal valued the company at around $2bn, including debt. Acumatica's platform supports mid-market organisations by automating critical processes such as financial management, payroll, and customer relationship management. The cloud-native platform offers AI-driven visibility across businesses, with industry-specific functionality tailored to sectors like manufacturing, distribution, construction, retail, and professional services.

Canada awaits private sector move on Pacific crude pipeline, minister says
By Amanda Stephenson CALGARY (Reuters) -Canada's federal government has not been presented with any private sector proposal to build a new crude pipeline to the Pacific coast, the country's Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson said on Friday. Hodgson said in an interview in Calgary that the government is beginning to have "concrete discussions" with various proponents of projects that could get the go-ahead under new legislation passed by Canada's Senate in late June. The legislation aims to fast-track approval for natural resource and infrastructure projects, part of a campaign promise by Prime Minister Mark Carney to transform Canada's economy in the face of U.S. tariffs. Hodgson declined to provide specifics about the discussions under way, saying the government has done its part to give project proponents the clarity they need to invest. "Now it's up to the private sector to make those decisions," he said. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said in June the province is working to present the federal government with a proponent and route for a potential new crude pipeline from Alberta to the Port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia. Smith said the pipeline would be built in tandem with the Pathways Alliance carbon capture and storage project. Canada is trying to diversify oil exports to be less reliant on the United States, but has struggled to find private companies willing to build a pipeline. Hodgson confirmed Friday that if there is to be a pipeline to tidewater, it must be built together with the Pathways project, which has been proposed by a consortium of oil sands companies to reduce emissions from Canada's energy sector and which could cost between C$10 and C$20 billion to construct. In recent years, major Canadian oil pipelines have faced years of regulatory delay and legal challenges, leading to cancellations for some projects and spiraling costs for others, like the Trans Mountain expansion. Canada's largest pipeline company, Enbridge, said in an emailed statement last week it would need to see significant provincial and federal legislative change — including changes to the country's industrial carbon policy — before considering proposing a new pipeline. Hodgson declined to say whether the government would consider changing or eliminating some of its existing environmental and regulatory policies in order to encourage a pipeline proposal.
