On October 23, 2023, EngageSmart announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Vista for $23 per share in cash. However, while public shareholders stand to be cashed out, the company's largest shareholder, investment firm General Atlantic, will retain its interest in the company and participate in its substantial upside.

Julie & Holleman, a nationally recognized firm that exclusively focuses on shareholder matters, is concerned about the price being offered as well as potential conflicts of interest. Among other things, the average price target established by Wall Street analysts is $24.50 per share, and the high price target is $30 per share—both far more than what the controlled company's board of directors agreed to. Moreover, the fact that General Atlantic controls the company and agreed to a deal which allows it to continue holding a substantial stake raises serious questions of fair dealing.
