Summary · why it matters

The Baldwin Group has agreed to be taken private by an entity formed by Sequence Holdings and DFO Management, the Dell Family Office, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $7.7 billion. Baldwin shareholders will receive $32.50 in cash per share, an approximately 88% premium to the unaffected closing price on June 17, 2026, the day before media reports that the company was exploring a take-private transaction. The $7.7 billion total enterprise value is comprised of an equity purchase price of approximately $4.6 billion and approximately $3.1 billion of net debt assumed or refinanced, representing an implied multiple of approximately 20x Baldwin's trailing-twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $396 million. Eligible Baldwin colleagues who currently hold equity will have the opportunity to roll over a portion of their holdings into the private company, retaining a significant minority equity stake alongside Sequence and DFO. The transaction, unanimously approved by Baldwin's Board of Directors following the unanimous recommendation of a Special Committee of independent directors, is expected to close in Q1 2027, subject to shareholder approval and regulatory clearances, after which Baldwin shares will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.
