Sidley is representing data center life cycle management solutions provider ITRenew, a portfolio company of media and communications private equity firm ZMC, in its acquisition by Iron Mountain Incorporated. Iron Mountain provides storage and information management services, storing and protecting billions of assets. Upon closing, Iron Mountain will acquire 80% of the outstanding shares of ITRenew on a cash- and debt-free basis for approximately US$725 million in cash, with the remaining 20% acquired within three years of closing for a minimum enterprise value of US$925 million. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Sidley represented ZMC in its acquisition of ITRenew in 2017, and ITRenew has since achieved significant expansion under ZMC’s ownership, including rapid growth of revenue, executing strategic acquisitions, and institutionalizing operations to meet customer demand.
