Under the terms of the agreement, Everbridge shareholders will receive $28.60 per share in cash. According to the company, the per share purchase price represents a 32% premium to the Everbridge volume-weighted average share price over the last 90 days.

Everbridge was founded in the aftermath of 9/11 with the mission of helping to keep people safe and organizations running amid critical situations. Its suite of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) products encompassing mass notification, IT incident management, travel risk management, physical security information management, population alerting, and risk intelligence, has positioned Everbridge as a trusted partner to meet the evolving needs of a diverse base of 6,500+ customers through a comprehensive and unified interface. Everbridge customers include multi-national enterprises across industries such as financial services, manufacturing, retail, transportation, energy & gas, and education, as well as national, state, and local government bodies and U.S. Federal agencies.

“Joining Thoma Bravo will mark a pivotal moment for Everbridge and our mission to empower organizations worldwide with the tools to successfully navigate critical events,” said David Wagner, President and CEO of Everbridge. “Over the last several years, we have expanded and evolved our business to support customers in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Thoma Bravo’s comprehensive experience in the risk, compliance, and safety sectors and commitment to fostering innovation will enable us to better help our customers keep people safe and their organisations running. This agreement is a testament to all we’ve achieved together as one Everbridge and represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our team, our partners, and our customers.”

“We are pleased to deliver immediate, compelling, and certain value to our shareholders through this transaction,” said David Henshall, Chairman and Lead Independent Director of the Everbridge Board of Directors. “Over the past several years, the Everbridge Board has consistently reviewed the Company’s stand-alone opportunity against other strategic opportunities, including dialogue with a range of potential partners. This agreement is the result of those efforts and reflects our commitment to maximizing value and certainty on behalf of our shareholders.”

“We look forward to working with Everbridge to expand their ability to capitalise on opportunities in an expanding marketplace for risk, compliance, and safety solutions,” said Hudson Smith, Partner at Thoma Bravo. “The Everbridge product portfolio is already used by some of the world’s most-respected corporations and organisations to comprehensively monitor risk and manage critical events, and we see an extensive runway ahead for product innovation and profitable growth.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with the Everbridge team to keep building on the strong business they’ve created in critical event management,” said Matt LoSardo, Principal at Thoma Bravo. “Our shared vision, coupled with Thoma Bravo’s software and operational competencies, will support Everbridge to accelerate its growth initiatives and better serve its customers during this exciting next chapter for the company.”

The transaction, which was approved by the Everbridge Board of Directors, is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Everbridge shareholders and the receipt of required regulatory approvals. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition.
