The facts

  1. Varonis shareholders would receive US$49.75 in cash for each share. The agreement is an announced acquisition, not a completed takeover. [1][2]

  2. Varonis’ board unanimously approved the deal. Completion still requires shareholder and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions. [1][2]

  3. The companies say they will operate separately until closing. Varonis would then become private and its shares would leave Nasdaq. [1]

  4. Proofpoint’s owner, Thoma Bravo, committed equity and debt financing. Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan is investing in Proofpoint as part of the transaction. [1]

Still unconfirmed

  • The checked sources do not establish that the approvals or closing have occurred.
