(Reuters) -Cornerstone OnDemand Inc said on Thursday private equity firm Clearlake Capital Group LP would take the cloud computing and management software provider private for about $3.8 billion.<\/p>\n
Cornerstone shareholders will get $57.50 per share in cash, a premium of over 15% to the stock\u2019s last close.<\/p>\n
Cloud companies have seen a surge in demand since last year as more businesses use their services to meet demands of the switch to pandemic-induced work from home.<\/p>\n
Cornerstone, which helps companies to recruit, train, and manage their employees, counts Walgreens and Starwood Hotels & Resorts as its customers.<\/p>\n
The deal, which is expected to close in the second half of this year, has an enterprise value of about $5.2 billion.<\/p>\n
Qatalyst Partners and Centerview Partners LLC served as financial advisers to Cornerstone, while Morgan Stanley, Rothschild & Co, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BofA Securities, Barclays, Jefferies and William Blair advised Clearlake.<\/p>\n
