04:10 PM EST, 11/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- KKR (KKR)-backed cybersecurity firm Optiv entered confidential discussions with its creditors amid a surge in payments on maturing debt next year, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The private talks with holders of its second-lien loans come after the company fell further into distressed territory, the report said.

More than half of the company's $1 billion in debt is due in 2026, including a $650 million term loan, the report said.

KKR and Optiv didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
