PR Newswire

NEW YORK , April 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Julie & Holleman LLP is investigating the proposed $8.50 per share ( $4.6 billion ) acquisition of Cvent Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: CVT) by affiliates of private equity firm Blackstone Inc.

Cvent is a leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider with more than 4,800 employees and over 21,000 customers worldwide as of September 30, 2022 . The company was founded in 1999. In 2016, private equity firm Vista Equity Partners acquired the company for $1.3 billion . And in 2021, Vista took Cvent public through a "de-SPAC" transaction that valued the company at $5.3 billion . Since then, Cvent has continued to make strides in executing its business strategy, but recent economic conditions have forced the company's stock price downward.

On March 14, 2023 , Cvent announced that Blackstone agreed to acquire the company for $8.50 . As part of the deal, members of Cvent's management and Vista may continue to participate in the company's upside either through a share "roll over" or new investment. Cvent management is also expected to stay on with the company. The deal is expected to close mid-2023.

Julie & Holleman is investigating potential legal claims regarding the fairness of the $8.50 per share merger price. Cvent went public at much higher than the deal price, and Blackstone appears to be seizing on short-term trends. Separately, there are issues over potential conflicts, including Vista's and management's role with the post-close company.
