Sapiens International Corporation (SPNS) saw its stock jump 44.32% today after announcing it will be acquired by global private equity firm Advent in an all-cash transaction valuing the insurance software leader at approximately $2.5 billion.
Under the agreement, Sapiens shareholders will receive $43.50 per share in cash, representing a 64% premium to the company’s undisturbed closing price of $26.52 on August 8, 2025.
Advent’s investment is aimed at accelerating Sapiens’ innovation roadmap, particularly in SaaS-based insurance solutions and AI-driven offerings. Formula Systems, Sapiens’ existing major shareholder, will retain a minority stake in the company post-transaction. Once completed, Sapiens will become a privately held company and its shares will be delisted.
The acquisition, unanimously approved by Sapiens’ board, is expected to close in Q4 2025 or Q1 2026, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals. Advent has secured committed debt and equity financing, including $1.3 billion in equity commitments, to fund the purchase.
