- Thoma Bravo to buy Dayforce in $12.3 billion deal</p>
<p>August 21, 2025 at 8:10 PM</p>
<p>(Reuters) -HR software provider Dayforce said on Thursday buyout firm Thoma Bravo will take it private in a $12.3 billion deal, including debt.</p>
<p>The offer represents a premium of 32.4% based on the stock's closing price on August 15, when news of the deal talks was first reported.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the deal, Dayforce shareholders will receive $70 per share in cash, representing an equity value of $11.18 billion, according to Reuters calculations.</p>
<p>The software sector has emerged as an investment target due to resilient subscription services and recurring revenue in an economy weighed down by a deteriorating labor market, trade tariffs and erratic spending.</p>
<p>Dayforce, which rebranded from Ceridian HCM Holding last year, faces strong competition in the industry, with enterprises preferring more established companies with larger operations.</p>
<p>A wave of deals in the human capital management industry in recent years signals a shift toward AI-driven, single-platform solutions, with acquisitions aimed at consolidating and enhancing the tools offered to clients.</p>
<p>Paychex announced its acquisition of rival Paycor for $4.1 billion at the start of the year, while Automatic Data Processing acquired WorkForce Software last year for about $1.2 billion.</p>
<p>The transaction, which includes a minority investment from a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, is expected to close early next year, Dayforce said.</p>
<p>Analysts have said a buyout would provide Dayforce some relief from its debt load, while Thoma Bravo's deep pockets would help the company accelerate AI development and expand internationally.</p>
<p>Thoma Bravo, which had about $184 billion in assets under management as of March 31, is among the largest software-focused investors globally. The private equity firm has acquired or invested in more than 530 software and technology companies.</p>
