New Relic to Go Private in $6.5 Billion Deal with TPG and Francisco

Software firm New Relic has agreed to be taken private by private equity firms TPG and Francisco Partners in a $6.5 billion all-cash deal. The move comes as New Relic faces competition in the application performance monitoring space from companies like Datadog and Dynatrace. The deal offers New Relic shareholders $87 per share, representing a 15% premium to the stock's closing price on May 16. New Relic's cloud-based software helps monitor servers, databases, and user interactions, boosting efficiency for businesses. The company reported first-quarter revenue of $242.6 million, beating analysts' estimates. New Relic has a 45-day window to seek other acquisition proposals.
