Summary
Hexagon AB said Friday that it has agreed to purchase Rocscience, an engineering software solutions provider backed by TA Associates, at an enterprise value of approximately $535 million, according to a report by Law360 reporter Al Barbarino. The announcement marks Hexagon's agreement to acquire a company that TA Associates has held as an investment.
The deal is an acquisition by a strategic buyer of a private-equity-backed software business, a transaction type that gives the seller a route to liquidity and gives the acquirer added product capabilities in engineering and geotechnical software. Rocscience's software is used in engineering analysis, and the purchase extends Hexagon's portfolio in that area.
