Description:
Website-building platform Squarespace announced it will go private in a $6.9 billion all-cash deal with private equity firm Permira. Permira will pay $44 per share, a 30% premium over Squarespace's unaffected stock price. Squarespace struggled as a public company, opening below its reference price and never trading above its IPO price. Major shareholders approved the deal and will remain investors after the acquisition. The deal marks a trend of smaller tech companies going private after difficulties in the public markets.
