ADT agreed to be acquired by Thrive Holdings for **$10.00 in cash per share**, a transaction announced October 29 that values the home-security company at approximately **$7.6 billion in equity value** and **$15.3 billion in enterprise value**.

**Deal terms** The offer represents a **45.6% premium** to ADT’s October 27 closing price. ADT expects the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

The definitive agreement would take ADT private and end its NYSE listing after closing. ADT’s SEC filing identifies the merger agreement as a material definitive agreement and highlights risks including approval delays, competing proposals, termination events and the effect of the transaction on operations.

The deal arrives before ADT’s scheduled third-quarter results, which the company said would be released before the market open on November 3. Its latest reported quarter showed revenue of **$1.312 billion**, up **2%** year over year, operating cash flow of **$666 million**, up **18%**, and adjusted free cash flow of **$406 million**, up **48%**.

ADT’s latest 2026 outlook called for approximately **2% revenue growth**, **2% adjusted EPS growth** and **30% adjusted free-cash-flow growth**. The transaction gives investors a defined cash exit while leaving final value dependent on completion conditions and the company’s performance during the interim period.
