Dec. 2, 2019 2:24 PM ET|About: GS Acquisition Holdings Corp (GSAH)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor

GS Acquisition Holdings ( GSAH +0.9%), led by former Honeywell CEO David Cote and backed by Goldman Sachs, is in talks to buy U.S. backup power equipment firm Vertiv for more than $5B including debt, Reuters reports.

GS Acquisition could use the money it raised in last year's IPO, in addition to debt financing, to acquire Vertiv from P-E firm Platinum Equity, according to the report.

Vertiv is the former network power business of Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR), which Platinum Equity acquired three years ago for ~$4B; EMR kept a minority interest in the company.
