CWCapital suitors: Centerbridge, Apollo, Berkadia

From BBG:

May 13 (Bloomberg) -- Buyout firms Apollo Global Management LP and Centerbridge Capital Partners LLC made competing bids for CW Financial Services, parent of the second-largest manager of delinquent U.S. commercial real estate loans, according to two people with knowledge of the offers.
Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, a partnership between Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and Leucadia National Corp., was also weighing a bid for the New York-based company, said a third person familiar with the matter. The people asked not to be identified because the auction is private.
CWCapital Asset Management, a unit of CW Financial, is the special servicer of $143 billion of securitized real estate loans, including more than $18 billion that are delinquent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It has access to valuable pricing and payment information, said Ben Thypin, an analyst at researcher Real Capital Analytics Inc. in New York.
