Thoma Bravo agreed to acquire cloud-native platform provider Anaplan Inc. for an all-cash transaction of $10.7 billion. The purchase price of $66 per share implies a premium of 30.5 percent to Anaplan’s March 18 closing price of $50.59. Anaplan will become a privately held company after the transaction. Holden Spaht, a Managing Partner at Thoma Bravo, said, “We have followed Anaplan for years and have seen the incredible value they bring customers through their best-in-class planning platform. We look forward to leveraging Thoma Bravo’s extensive operational and investment expertise in enterprise software to support Anaplan in its future growth.” By Anusuya Lahiri © 2021 The Epoch Times.
