Zuora will go private in an agreed acquisition by Silver Lake in partnership with an affiliate of GIC Pte. in a deal valued at $1.7 billion.
The cloud-based subscription management platform provider said SIlver Laker and GIC will acquire all of its outstanding shares for $10 a share in cash.
The purchase price is an 18% premium to its closing stock price on April 16, the last full trading day prior to reports regarding a possible sale.
Zuora's board unanimously approved and recommended the agreement move to a shareholder vote.
The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025.
Chief Executive Tien Tzuo will roll over a majority of his existing ownership and continue to lead the company.
Shares were up 5% to $9.89 in premarket trading Thursday.
