Experience working at a hedge fund selling equity to a PE firm

I work at a hedge fund ($5bn AUM) and the management team is exploring strategic partnerships with a few private equity firms in which a majority stake in our firm would be sold. Does anyone have experience in a situation like this? The PE firm currently discussing the investment has a few synergetic portfolio companies. I don't own any equity and I wonder about the different scenarios that could play out.
