Private equity giant Blackstone on Jan. 8 said it had joined forces with Microsoft founder Bill Gates to pursue a bid for Signature Aviation. Gates’s Cascade Investment is the private-jet servicing company’s biggest shareholder with a 19% stake.

Blackstone and Cascade said they were in “advanced discussions” with Signature over a cash offer worth $5.17 per share. The offer values the company at $4.29 billion. Blackstone will own 70% of the bidding vehicle, with Cascade owning 30%. The announcement came the day after Signature confirmed a takeover approach from private equity rival Carlyle.
