In related corporate developments, Dayforce stockholders approved the company’s acquisition by private equity firm Thoma Bravo at a special meeting. Approximately 88.4 percent of the votes cast, representing 78.8 percent of Dayforce’s outstanding voting stock, supported the transaction.
Under the agreed terms, holders of Dayforce common stock will receive $70.00 per share in cash as consideration for the transaction. The shareholder vote was presented as a significant procedural milestone in the acquisition process.
The combination of insider activity, valuation commentary from InvestingPro, and the shareholder approval of the private equity acquisition provides multiple data points for market observers considering Dayforce’s near-term corporate and financial trajectory. The sale by a senior accounting executive was executed through the pre-existing plan and was publicly reported, while the broad shareholder support for the Thoma Bravo deal sets a clear path for the company’s change in ownership.
