Persistent Launches €81 Per-Share Takeover Bid for Germany’s Nagarro

The cash offer would combine Persistent’s AI and cloud strengths with Nagarro’s European engineering to create a roughly $2.9 billion services group that raises Europe’s share of revenue.

Overview

  • Persistent made a voluntary public takeover offer through its unit Galaxy Germany Holding to buy all outstanding Nagarro shares for €81 in cash.
  • The price equals about a 140% premium to Nagarro’s undisturbed close and a 94% premium to its three-month VWAP, signaling an aggressive bid to win shareholder support.
  • Persistent has a binding agreement with Lantano Beteiligungen GmbH to acquire its full 21% stake and says Nagarro’s management and supervisory boards intend to recommend acceptance.
  • The companies project a combined annual revenue run rate near $2.9 billion with roughly 46,000 employees and expect Europe’s share of revenue to rise to about 22 percent.
  • Next steps include publication of the final offer document, regulatory and shareholder approvals, a potential delisting of Nagarro, and a closing window targeted for late 2026 to early 2027.
