December 14, 2022: -On Monday, Coupa Software said it would market to private-equity major Thoma Bravo for $6.15 billion in money, which calls the deal the “optimal path forward” as more general financial uncertainty hammers technology is storing.
Information of the deal has been sending Coupa’s shares up 27% in premarket trade following a more than 60% decrease in the year.
Coupa will be getting $81 for each share beneath the deal, 30.5% higher than the closing level and 77.2% above November 22, when takeover interest in the company was first stated.

Concerning the previous two years, Thoma Bravo has acquired Ping Identity, Proofpoint and Sailpoint Technologies.
“The transaction exists giving superior risk-adjusted value relative to the company’s standalone prospects,” Roger Siboni, an independent director at the software company, stated.
The all-cash agreement, which has an enterprise value of $8 billion, includes an investment from an affiliate of the sovereign wealth fund Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
