CDW To Acquire Sirius Computer Solutions For $2.5B Cash

CDW Corp CDW agreed to acquire Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) affiliate for $2.5 billion in cash.
Sirius is a provider of secure, mission-critical technology-based solutions for ~3,900 large and mid-sized customers. It generated net sales of $2.04 billion in 2020.

CDW expects the transaction to close in December 2021.
CDW has committed financing for the transaction. It held $501.2 million in cash and equivalents as of June 30.
