CCC Intelligent Solutions has reached a $730m deal to acquire EvolutionIQ, a platform for AI-powered guidance in disability and injury claims management.
The acquisition is said to enhance CCC’s AI-powered SaaS offerings and extend its market reach.
This move builds on the launch of CCC’s Intelligent Experience Cloud platform, which aims to provide AI-powered workflows and new insights to over 35,000 companies in its network.
The deal consideration will be a mix of around 40% CCC common stock and 60% cash, which will be paid via cash on the balance sheet and a $225m term loan.
This transaction is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2025, contingent on standard closing conditions.
CCC secured financial advice from JP Morgan and Citi for this deal, while Kirkland & Ellis and Lowenstein Sandler are the legal advisers for CCC and EvolutionIQ, respectively.
