WiseTech Global to Acquire E2open for $2.1 Billion in Cash

Australia’s WiseTech Global entered a merger agreement on May 26, 2025, to acquire E2open Parent Holdings, Inc. (ETWO) in an all-cash deal valued at $2.1 billion.

Deal Structure:

Under the terms of the agreement, WiseTech Global will acquire E2open Parent for $3.30 per share in cash, representing a 28.40% premium from the stock’s last close.

Company Profile:

E2open is a cloud-based supply chain software company that connects global trade partners to help businesses manage and optimize supply chain operations. Its platform supports planning, logistics, and execution across various industries.

WiseTech Global is an Australian company that develops cloud-based logistics software, including its flagship platform, CargoWise, used by over 16,500 logistics providers in 195 countries to streamline freight forwarding, customs, and supply chain operations.

Deal Details and Timeline:

Earlier this month, Reuters reported that WiseTech was involved in a strategic review of E2open, which was trading at $1.97 before the announcement.

The deal, expected to be completed in the second half of 2025, will be funded through a new fully underwritten $3 billion debt facility.

The new loan is a syndicated debt facility made up of several parts with different repayment dates over the next five years. The lenders include a mix of top local and international banks, including six current partners and three new ones. Bank of America, Barrenjoey/Barclays, and Macquarie are serving as financial advisors to WiseTech, and Gresham as debt advisor.

E2open shareholders holding over 50% of the outstanding voting shares have already provided written consent to approve the merger, eliminating the need for further shareholder approval.

WiseTech Global will be paying 1.62 times the sales for E2open.
