My only point would be that the shareholders decided to take it private - which is usually either because they're in big trouble or they collectively decide its time to cash out and take profits.
Either way, it was the shareholders call to sell. If Bain bought and sold for profit then they must have created value to some buyer - in general I'm not seeing the problem here. My guess would be that the company was struggling and wouldve gone bankrupt without PE intervention. This was much the case with Burger King and Toys r Us, both Bain purchases that both would've died without them. I look at that as a positive win for both companies and their employees.
