Posted at 28/4/2024 16:40 by sikhthetech Mike Lynch's association with DARK and some of the directors who previously worked with him at Autonomy was always going to be a hinderance.I see Mike Lynch is going to pocket £300m even whilst he's on trial in US charge with a huge multi billion $ fraud. One of his other ventures Blnx (renamed rthm then part of trmr, now called nexn) also suffered from fraud allegations. Blnx shareholders are down 90% on that one. |

Posted at 26/4/2024 15:55 by apotheki British cybersecurity firm Darktrace on Friday announced it had agreed a sale to U.S. private equity giant Thoma Bravo, for an all-cash offer of $5.315 million.Investors are set to receive $7.75 in cash for each share held, under the terms recommended by the board. Its move private will be seen as a major blow to the London Stock Exchange, where it listed in 2021. The company was seen as a welcome dynamic addition to a market often characterized as less appealing to technology firms than those in the U.S. or Asia, and stacked with “old economy” players, such as miners and oil and gas companies. Darktrace specifically referenced its belief that it is undervalued in the U.K. as a reason for the sale. In a statement, it said its board believes the firm’s operational and financial “achievements& Darktrace was founded in 2013 and is based in the U.K. city of Cambridge, which has attracted a cluster of tech firms over the last decade. It specializes in artificial intelligence-based protection against cloud attacks for large companies and events, and has roughly 2,300 employees based worldwide. Thoma Bravo said the acquisiton would increase its exposure to the large and growing cybersecurity market, and that its investment in Darktrace would help scale the business globally. The deal represents a 44.3% premium to the average volume-weighted Darktrace share price in the three months to April 25, according to the release. |

Posted at 20/7/2023 09:24 by apotheki Not really what I was saying p2 as buy backs by a company are a totally different issue to investors buying shares.Buy backs smooth out the market in more rocky times and that is all they should be used for in my view. |
Posted at 20/8/2022 19:30 by the chairman elect More press coverage coming out over the w/e including in the Telegraph [see extract below]Many analysts argue Darktrace looks like a good deal to a private equity investor with plenty of dry powder. “It is still very cheap and still very below normal take out valuations,” says Alex Henderson, an analyst at Needham, which has a £10 price target on the company. One investor puts a price tag of £8 per share, a little under £6bn overall, as the minimum Darktrace’s board should consider. Analysts Stifel estimate a takeover bid will come in at between £5.85 and £7.15. News of Thoma Bravo’s interest sent Darktrace’s share price surging 30pc this week to give it an overall value of £3.85bn. Investors in Darktrace claim it is just another example of the London Stock Exchange failing to fairly value tech companies against their US peers, a personal bugbear of Lynch who believed Autonomy was rated too cheaply by the City. “This just highlights the problem with investors on the London Stock Exchange who chronically undervalue growth companies,” says Hussein Kanji, an early investor in Darktrace at Hoxton Ventures. Thoma Bravo’s interest could flush out further bidders. City sources cite Vista Equity Partners, a $93bn investor in the software sector, as a possible rival to Thoma Bravo. Vista declined to comment. Tech giants could also look to combine Darktrace with their own technology. “If I were a strategic buyer like Cisco or Palo Alto Networks this would be a nice fit,” says Needham’s Henderson. Analysts at Stifel add that “being private might actually be the better situation for Darktrace”. They write that ties to Autonomy have “prevented a number of public market investors” from buying the stock. One investor speculates Thoma Bravo could ultimately relist it in the US at a higher valuation. |
