Private credit lenders, led by Blue Owl, have taken ownership of Pluralsight, an educational software company. This move comes three years after Vista Equity Partners acquired Pluralsight, marking a significant shift in the company's ownership structure. The restructuring deal values Pluralsight at approximately $900 million, resulting in a $4 billion loss for Vista and its co-investors. This development highlights the challenges faced by private equity firms in managing their investments.
