Domo (NASDAQ: DOMO) to sell core business for $400M, eyeing deal spree
Domo, Inc. (DOMO) has obtained written stockholder consent to enter into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Progress Software Corporation under which Progress will acquire substantially all of Domo’s operating assets and employees for a $400 million Base Purchase Price, subject to cash and debt adjustments, and assume specified liabilities. Domo will retain its net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes and does not intend to liquidate. The board unanimously determined the transaction is fair and obtained a fairness opinion from Jefferies LLC. Majority stockholders holding about 75.7% of the voting power approved the deal by written consent, so no further stockholder vote will occur and no appraisal rights are available. After closing, Domo expects to remain a public company, change its name and ticker, repay or discharge existing credit-facility debt, and use proceeds to pursue acquisitions or other actions potentially enabling use of its NOLs, while also considering possible capital returns. Closing is targeted before November 30, 2026, subject to HSR clearance, a 20‑day information‑statement period, absence of a Material Adverse Effect and other closing conditions.
