Thoma Bravo to Take Accelerant Private for $20.25 a Share

Accelerant agreed to an all-cash sale to Thoma Bravo at $20.25 per share, shifting investor focus from operating performance to the likelihood and timing of closing.
The deal is expected to trade on completion risk, with financing terms, regulatory clearances and any go-shop or fiduciary-out provisions likely to determine how narrow the spread stays.
Thoma Bravo has a long record of software and tech-adjacent take-privates that usually close without repricing, though sponsor-backed deals can still face cuts or walkaways if credit markets tighten sharply.
Single-sponsor cash buyouts with little antitrust overlap typically close within a few months, while the main watchpoints now are proxy filings, financing structure, routine shareholder suits and the slim chance of a topping bid.
