Ziff Davis has agreed to sell its Connectivity division to Accenture Inc. for $1.2 billion in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The deal was unanimously approved by Ziff Davis’s board and is expected to close in the coming months, once specified conditions are met.
Closing depends on factors such as regulatory approvals, including expiration or termination of Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting periods, accuracy of each party’s representations, performance of covenants, an employee-related condition, absence of certain legal restraints, and no material adverse effect on the business or parties. The agreement includes ordinary-course operating covenants, a no-solicitation covenant on competing bids for the business, mutual indemnities for breaches, and non-compete and non-solicitation commitments. Either side may terminate if closing has not occurred by December 2, 2026, with an automatic extension to March 2, 2027 in certain circumstances, or upon specified breaches or legal prohibitions.
