Thoma Bravo to Take Accelerant Private in More than $4 Billion Deal
Shareholders will get $20.25 a share in cash, a 49% premium, as the insurance marketplace leaves the public markets after a year-long listing.
- On Thursday, private equity firm Thoma Bravo announced a definitive agreement to acquire insurance marketplace Accelerant in an all-cash deal valued at more than $4 billion, taking the company private.
- Accelerant's stock has struggled since its listing, trading well below its $21 initial public offering price, prompting the shift to private ownership away from public market pressures.
- Shareholders will receive $20.25 per share, representing a 49% premium over the August 12 closing price; Altamont Capital Partners, Accelerant's largest investor, holds approximately 82% of voting rights and agreed to support the deal.
- The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals; shareholders will receive a 6% per annum ticking fee if closing is delayed by regulatory requirements.
- Thoma Bravo, managing more than $172 billion in assets, leverages deep software and insurance technology expertise; the firm has invested in approximately 590 companies over 20-plus years, positioning it to drive Accelerant's growth.
