This 424B4 filing finalizes the terms and pricing of the follow-on offering previously announced in the S-1 filing on March 24, 2026. The company is issuing 9,311,126 new Class A shares, raising approximately $266.4 million. These proceeds will be used to indirectly purchase Opco LLC Interests, which Opco will then use to redeem Opco LLC Interests from existing private equity owners (Forgent Parent II LP and Forgent Parent III LP). An additional 20,688,874 shares are being sold by existing selling stockholders, generating $592.0 million for them. The total offering of 30 million shares represents a significant increase in the Class A common stock float, leading to approximately 12.3% dilution for existing public shareholders. While the capital raise strengthens the company's balance sheet and provides liquidity to its private equity owners, the substantial dilution and the fact that a large portion of the offering is a secondary sale by private equity, rather than direct capital for the company's operational growth, is a negative signal for public investors. The offering price of $29.50 per share is at a slight discount to the last reported sale price of $30.06 on the pricing date. This event follows the company's recent announcement of exceptionally strong Q2 2026 results.
