According to anonymous sources close to the matter, private equity firms and sovereign wealth funds are among the potential suitors for the majority stake and are interested in acquiring Flynn Group.

As stated by the sources, OTPP currently owns approximately one-third of Flynn Group, Main Post slightly over one-third, and Flynn Management the rest.
