(Reuters) - U.S. construction and engineering firm AECOM (NYSE: ACM) is nearing a $2.4 billion deal to sell its management services unit to a consortium of private equity firms, Bloomberg reported on Sunday.

The deal to sell the unit to the consortium of private equity firms that includes Lindsay Goldberg and American Securities could be announced as early as Monday, the report said https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-13/aecom-nears-2-4-billion-deal-to-sell-management-services-unit.
