Private-equity firm Thoma Bravo has agreed to acquire customer-experience software provider Verint Systems in an all-cash transaction that values the target at about $2 billion, including debt. Verint shareholders will receive $20.50 a share, putting the equity portion of the deal at roughly $1.23 billion. Verint’s board unanimously backed the offer. The companies said they expect to close the takeover before the end of Verint’s current fiscal year, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals. Following completion, Verint will be combined with Calabrio, another Thoma Bravo portfolio company, and its stock will be delisted. The purchase extends Thoma Bravo’s recent buying streak. The Chicago-based investor, which manages about $184 billion, agreed earlier this month to buy HR-software maker Dayforce for $12.3 billion. Verint, founded in 1994, serves more than 10,000 customers across 175 countries and says AI-driven products now account for half its annual recurring revenue.
