Carlyle to buy ManTech in $4.2bn deal

ManTech shareholders will receive $96 per share in cash, which is a 32% premium to the unaffected closing share price of $72.82 on 2 February and a 17% premium to the closing share price last Friday.

Dayne Baird, a managing director on Carlyle’s Aerospace & Government Services team, said: "We have always admired ManTech’s unwavering commitment to support national security customers and their critical missions through differentiated capabilities and technology solutions. ManTech’s talented employees and leadership team have built a remarkable company with strong market positions across the federal government.

"Through this partnership, we look forward to leveraging our sector expertise and resources to accelerate growth and innovation and to drive greater value for customers and employees."

The deal is expected to close in the second half of the year, subject to approval by ManTech shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
