Summary
CCC Intelligent Solutions said on Thursday, October 15, 2026, that it agreed to be acquired by a consortium led by private investment firm GTCR and including Elliott Investment Management in a $6.1 billion take-private transaction, according to Reuters. The all-cash deal values the Chicago-based company at approximately $6.1 billion on an enterprise value basis.

CCC provides software to the property and casualty insurance industry, including tools for claims management and damage estimation. The company had faced investor concerns over slowing growth, softer claims volumes and a slower-than-expected rollout of some newer software products, which had weighed on its share price. CCC shares were little changed at $7.61 in Thursday trading, after rising recently on media reports of a potential deal.
CEO Githesh Ramamurthy said in a statement that the announcement followed a thorough review of strategic options. The Board of Directors approved the transaction. The deal is not subject to financing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, after which CCC will become a privately held company. The company is scheduled to report third-quarter results on October 29.
CCC has a private equity history: it was acquired by Advent International in 2017, went public through a merger with a blank-check company in 2021, and Advent exited its investment in 2025. Morgan Stanley is advising CCC, while J.P. Morgan and Citi are advising GTCR.
