Coupa Software Enters into Definitive Agreement to Be Acquired by Thoma Bravo for $8 Billion

Coupa Shareholders to Receive $81 Per Share in Cash

Represents a 77% Premium to the Unaffected Stock Price

SAN MATEO, Calif., December 12, 2022 – Coupa Software (NASDAQ: COUP), a leader in Business Spend Management (BSM), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm. This is an all-cash transaction with an enterprise value of $8.0 billion. Upon completion of the transaction, Coupa will become a privately held company.

The transaction includes a significant minority investment from a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). Under the terms of the agreement, Coupa shareholders will receive $81.00 per share in cash, which represents a 77% premium to Coupa’s closing stock price on November 22, 2022, the last full trading day prior to media reports regarding a possible sale transaction involving the company. The transaction consideration also represents a premium of approximately 64% to the volume weighted average closing price of Coupa stock for the 30 trading days ending on November 22, 2022.

“For more than a decade, we’ve been building an incredible Business Spend Management Community and have proudly cemented our position as the market-leading platform in our category. We’re looking forward to partnering with Thoma Bravo and accelerating our vision to digitally transform the Office of the CFO,” said Rob Bernshteyn, chairman and chief executive officer at Coupa. “While our ownership may change, our values do not. Every one of us at Coupa will continue to put our customers at the center of everything we do and help them maximize the value of every dollar they spend.”

“This transaction is the result of a deliberate and thoughtful process that included engagement with both strategic and financial parties,” said Roger Siboni, Coupa’s lead independent director. “The Board evaluated the transaction against the company’s standalone prospects in the current macroeconomic climate and determined that the compelling and certain cash consideration in the transaction provides superior risk-adjusted value relative to the Company’s standalone prospects. The Board is unanimous in its belief this transaction is the optimal path forward and in the best interest of our shareholders.”

“Coupa has created and led the large and growing Business Spend Management category. We’ve followed the company’s success for many years and have been impressed by its consistent track record of delivering high levels of value for its global customer base,” said Holden Spaht, a Managing Partner at Thoma Bravo. “We look forward to partnering with Rob and the rest of the management team to keep investing in the company’s product strategy while driving growth both organically and through M&A.”


“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with the talented Coupa team to keep building on the incredible franchise they’ve created in the Business Spend Management space,” said Brian Jaffee, a Partner at Thoma Bravo. “Our shared vision, combined with Thoma Bravo’s strategic and operational expertise, will enable Coupa to continue driving innovation, better serve its customers and accelerate important growth initiatives during this next chapter as a private company.”

Approvals and Timing

The transaction, which was approved unanimously by the Coupa Board of Directors, is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Coupa shareholders and the receipt of required regulatory approvals. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition.

Upon completion of the transaction, Coupa’s common stock will no longer be listed on any public market. The company will continue to operate under the Coupa name and brand.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

In a separate press release, Coupa today announced its third quarter fiscal year 2023 financial results. The press release is available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website. In light of the announced transaction with Thoma Bravo, Coupa has cancelled its earnings conference call previously scheduled for 1:30 p.m. PT / 4:30 p.m. ET this afternoon, December 12, 2022.

These statements, and related risks, uncertainties, factors and assumptions, include, but are not limited to: the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the proposed transaction that could delay the consummation of the proposed transaction or cause the parties to abandon the proposed transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement entered into pursuant to the proposed transaction; the possibility that Coupa stockholders may not approve the proposed transaction; the risk that the parties to the merger agreement may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the proposed transaction in a timely manner or at all; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Coupa’s common stock; the risk of any unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction; the risk of any litigation relating to the proposed transaction; the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of Coupa to retain and hire key personnel and to maintain relationships with customers, vendors, partners, employees, stockholders and other business relationships and on its operating results and business generally; the impact of actions and behaviors of customers, vendors and competitors; technological developments, as well as legal and regulatory rules and processes affecting Coupa’s business; macroeconomic uncertainties driven by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, inflation, rising interest rates, and the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty it has caused; and Coupa’s limited operating history at our current scale, which makes it difficult to predict future operating results. Further information on factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by Coupa’s forward-looking statements is included in the reports Coupa has filed or will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including as described in “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC (which is available at https://investors.coupa.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov). In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking results, levels of activity, performance, events and circumstances discussed in this presentation may not occur or be achieved, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. In addition to U.S. GAAP financial information, this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial and liquidity measures. These non-GAAP measures are in addition to, not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to historical GAAP measures is contained in the Appendix. Coupa’s definitions of its non-GAAP measures may differ from those used by other companies for similarly-titled measures, and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Thus, Coupa’s non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, Coupa’s GAAP results. Coupa believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other users of its financial information because they provide a way to measure and evaluate Coupa’s underlying operating performance and the strength of its core business consistently across the periods presented. Coupa believes these non-GAAP measures are also useful for comparing its operating performance to that of other companies in its industry, because they eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary between companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. Coupa believes that adjusted free cash flows also provides a useful measure of capital strength and liquidity, although it is not intended to represent and should not be viewed as the amount of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. This presentation contains estimates and forecasts that have been prepared by independent third parties. We have not independently verified such estimates and forecasts.
