The Foundry – that is, the owners of Nuke, Mari, Modo, Katana and a few other things – have received an enormous injection of capital, from HgCapita. Under the agreement, the majority ownership passes from the “Carlyle Group” to HGCapital for 312 miillion US dollars. They invest heavily in the software sector – see the HGCapital.com homepage.
