LONDON - GlobalData Plc, a prominent analytics and data platform, has acknowledged receiving non-binding proposals from two major investment entities, ICG and KKR, regarding potential acquisition offers for the company. The Board of GlobalData is currently engaging in preliminary discussions with both firms.
The company, listed on AIM under the ticker AIM:DATA, made this announcement on Wednesday, following recent media speculation about a possible takeover. GlobalData clarified that these proposals are preliminary and there is no certainty that either ICG or KKR will proceed with a firm offer, nor are the terms of any potential offer confirmed.
ICG and KKR have until 5:00 p.m. (London time) on May 28, 2025, to either announce their intention to make a definitive offer in accordance with the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers or to declare that they do not plan to make an offer. This deadline may be extended with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers.
The announcement contains inside information and is made without the prior agreement or approval of ICG and KKR. GlobalData’s Board has advised that further announcements will be made if and when appropriate.
As of April 29, 2025, GlobalData has over 806 million ordinary shares in issue, with an International Securities Identification Number of GB00BR3VDF43. The company’s mission is to assist clients in various industries with insights and analytics for better decision-making.
Goldman Sachs International is acting as the lead financial advisor to GlobalData in this matter. The company has emphasized that the content of its website, where a copy of this announcement will be made available, does not form part of the announcement.
The market is advised to await further information, as the discussions are at a preliminary stage and there is no certainty of a formal offer being made. This statement is based on a press release issued by GlobalData Plc.
