NEW YORK, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights firm Julie & Holleman LLP is investigating the proposed $5.6 billion acquisition of PowerSchool Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PWSC), by private equity firm Bain Capital. Julie & Holleman has already uncovered several conflicts of interest, and recent developments show the deal undervalues the company.

PowerSchool is a leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education in North America. The company's two largest shareholders are private equity firms Vista Equity Partners and Onex Partners, who together own a majority of PowerSchool's stock and voting power.
On June 7, 2024, PowerSchool announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Bain for $22.80 per share in cash. On July 23, 2024, the company filed a proxy statement and related materials, which show that PowerSchool could be worth as much as $31.50 per share.
Julie & Holleman, whose attorneys have helped secure hundreds of millions of dollars for shareholders, is concerned about both conflicts of interest and the inadequate deal price. PowerSchool's biggest shareholders, Vista and Onex, are "rolling over" shares into the post-close company while public shareholders are being cashed out. Moreover, the $22.80 per share deal price is less than what the company's stock was trading at earlier this year, less than the average Wall Street analyst stock price target of $24.57 per share, well below the high-end price target of $30 per share, and far below the $31.50 per share high end of the company's financial advisors' financial analyses.
