Softbank-Backed Cohesity To Acquire Veritas Data Security Unit For $3B: Report
SoftBank Group Corp (OTC:SFTBY) (OTC:SFTBF) backed Cohesity has agreed to the acquisition of the data protection business of Veritas Technologies LLC. The deal is valued at $3 billion, creating a combined entity worth $7 billion.
軟銀集團公司（場外交易代碼：SFTBY）（場外交易代碼：SFTBF）支持的Cohesity已同意收購Veritas Technologies LLC的數據保護業務。該交易價值30億美元，創建了一個價值70億美元的合併實體。
What Happened: Cohesity, a U.S.-based data security software company, is set to acquire the data protection business of Veritas, a subsidiary of Carlyle Group Inc (NASDAQ:CG). The deal, comprising cash and stock, is expected to be finalized by the end of the year, as per source-based report by Reuters.
發生了什麼：總部位於美國的數據安全軟件公司Cohesity將收購凱雷集團公司（納斯達克股票代碼：CG）的子公司Veritas的數據保護業務。根據路透社的消息來源報道，該交易包括現金和股票，預計將在今年年底之前完成。
The acquisition is anticipated to bolster Cohesity's growth margins and facilitate its expansion into international markets. The combined annual revenue of the two firms is estimated at $1.6 billion.
預計此次收購將提高Cohesity的增長利潤率，並促進其向國際市場的擴張。兩家公司的合併年收入估計爲16億美元。
CEO of Cohesity, Sanjay Poonen, highlighted the potential of the merged entity, and said, "You've got the fastest growth on our side and the best profitability on their side, combined together to be a profitable growth machine that's innovating with AI."
Cohesity首席執行官桑傑·普寧強調了合併後的實體的潛力，並表示：“你們的增長速度最快，他們這邊的盈利能力最好，加起來就是一臺利用人工智能進行創新的盈利增長機器。”

Notably, Cohesity's AI-powered software is designed to help organizations safeguard and manage their data against cyber threats. The company has secured approximately $1 billion in equity and $2 billion in debt from investors, including Haveli Investments, Premji Invest, and Madrona, to finance the deal.
值得注意的是，Cohesity的人工智能軟件旨在幫助組織保護和管理其數據免受網絡威脅。該公司已從包括Haveli Investments、Premji Invest和Madrona在內的投資者那裏獲得了約10億美元的股權和20億美元的債務，爲該交易融資。
Cohesity and Veritas did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.
Cohesity和Veritas沒有立即回應本辛加的置評請求。
Why It Matters: The acquisition of Veritas' data protection business is a significant move for Cohesity, especially in the context of its industry competition. The company's biggest rival, Rubrik, is reportedly preparing for a stock market flotation in the near future.
爲何重要：收購Veritas的數據保護業務對Cohesity來說是一項重大舉措，尤其是在其行業競爭的背景下。據報道，該公司最大的競爭對手Rubrik正在爲不久的將來股票市場上市做準備。
This development also comes at a time when another SoftBank-backed company, Invitae Corporation, is facing financial challenges. Invitae, a medical genetics company, is reportedly considering filing for bankruptcy due to a substantial $1.5 billion debt burden.
這一事態發展也是在軟銀支持的另一家公司Invitae Corporation面臨財務挑戰的時候發生的。據報道，由於15億美元的巨額債務負擔，醫學遺傳學公司Invitae正在考慮申請破產。
On the other hand, SoftBank has been actively involved in the tech industry, with its founder discussing the future of AI at ARM Holdings PLC's historic IPO in 2023.
另一方面，軟銀一直積極參與科技行業，其創始人在2023年ARM Holdings PLC的歷史性首次公開募股上討論了人工智能的未來。
