SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm, today announced the completion of its acquisition of PROS Holdings, Inc. ("PROS"), a leading provider of AI-powered SaaS pricing and selling solutions, in an all-cash transaction valuing PROS at approximately $1.4 billion.

With the completion of the transaction, PROS shareholders will receive $23.25 per share in cash for each share of common stock they owned. The company's common stock has ceased trading and will be delisted from NYSE.

As previously announced, with the closing of this transaction, Thoma Bravo will run PROS' travel business as a platform investment ("PROS Travel"), while PROS' B2B business will combine with Thoma Bravo's existing portfolio company Conga, a leader for AI-powered innovation in configure, price, quote, contract lifecycle management and document automation. Conga's acquisition of PROS' B2B business is expected to close in Q1 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Sunil John will serve as the CEO of PROS Travel, and Jeff Cotten will transition to the PROS Travel Board of Directors and provide continued leadership. Sunil has more than two decades of experience at PROS, most recently serving as Chief Product Officer, and will be responsible for overseeing the strategic direction and continued growth of PROS Travel. "At a time when the airline industry stands at a pivotal turning point, we have an incredible opportunity to accelerate our innovation and empower modern airline retailing through intelligent, dynamic experiences that will define the future of travel," said Sunil John.

"I am immensely proud of everything we have achieved to ready PROS for its new chapter and continued evolution delivering world-class AI-powered sales optimization software," said Jeff Cotten, President and CEO of PROS. "As a private company with Thoma Bravo's support and Sunil's exceptional leadership, PROS Travel will gain the agility and flexibility needed to deliver on our strategic priorities and remain at the forefront of AI in the dynamic travel sector. At the same time, combining PROS' B2B business with Conga will enable focused innovation and unlock broader and more powerful intelligent commerce solutions for B2B customers."

"PROS has built a trusted portfolio of AI-driven solutions serving both the travel and B2B sectors, and we're excited by the opportunities ahead for both businesses to strengthen their leadership positions in their respective categories," said A.J. Rohde, a Senior Partner at Thoma Bravo. "We look forward to applying our sector and operational expertise to advance AI capabilities and propel growth."
