Clearlake Capital Group to Acquire Dun & Bradstreet in $7.7B Deal

Dow Jones

Mar 24, 2025

By Denny Jacob

Dun & Bradstreet Holdings agreed to be acquired by private equity firm Clearlake Capital Group in a transaction valued at $7.7 billion, including outstanding debt.

The agreement, unanimously approved by Dun & Bradstreet's board, will award shareholders $9.15 in cash for each share of common stock they own.

The purchase price will be funded by Clearlake with a combination of equity and debt financing.

The agreement includes a "go-shop" period, during which Dun & Bradstreet will actively solicit and potentially agree to alternative agreements.

The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.

Dun & Bradstreet, a provider of business-decisioning data and analytics, will become a privately held company once the transaction is completed.

Shares of Dun & Bradstreet ticked up 3% to $8.99 in premarket trading. The stock is down 30% on the year compared with the 3.6% decline in the S&P 500.
