Bahrain Mirror- Reuters: Investcorp Bank has agreed to sell its stake in cybersecurity company Optiv Security Inc to private equity firm KKR & Co, the Bahrain-based private equity investor said in a bourse statement Tuesday.

KKR & Co said on Dec. 6 it would acquire Denver, Colorado-based Optiv from majority owner Blackstone Group LP , Investcorp and Sverica and other investors.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Investcorp said Optiv management and Blackstone would continue to hold a minority interest in the company.
