Logility Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: LGTY) (“Logility” or the “Company”), a leader in AI-first supply chain management software, today announced that it has received an unsolicited non-binding proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of Logility’s common stock for $15.00 per share in cash (the “Unsolicited Proposal”). The Unsolicited Proposal remains subject to due diligence.
Logility previously announced on January 24, 2025 that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Aptean, Inc. (“Aptean”) for $14.30 per share in an all-cash transaction (the “Aptean Merger Agreement”). The Logility Board of Directors has determined that the Unsolicited Proposal would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal under the terms of the Aptean Merger Agreement. As a result of the Logility Board of Directors’ determination, Logility may, under the terms of the Aptean Merger Agreement, engage in discussions with the unsolicited bidder based on the Unsolicited Proposal and Logility intends to do so.
The Aptean Merger Agreement remains in full force and effect, and the Logility Board of Directors reaffirms its existing recommendation that Logility’s shareholders vote in favor of the transaction with Aptean.
There can be no assurances that any definitive agreement or transaction will result from the Unsolicited Proposal or Logility’s discussions with the unsolicited bidder. The Logility Board of Directors is not making any recommendation with respect to the Unsolicited Proposal at this time.
Lazard is serving as financial advisor to Logility, and Jones Day is serving as legal counsel.
