This DEFA14A provides the full merger agreement and voting support agreement for the Thoma Bravo acquisition announced earlier today. The key new facts are that ACP shareholders holding approximately 82% of voting rights have committed to vote in favor, a go-shop period runs until September 22, 2026, and termination fees range from $56.9M to $136.5M for the company and $295.8M for the buyer. The deal is highly likely to close given the overwhelming voting support, but the go-shop leaves a narrow window for a competing bid. The $20.25 per share cash price represents a 49% premium to the pre-announcement price, and the ticking amount of $0.00333 per share per day compensates shareholders for any delay in closing.
