Kneat.com, the digital validation software company, has secured recommendations from both Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis for its acquisition by Thoma Bravo.

The endorsements cover the strategic review process that the board and a special committee conducted. Glass Lewis said the deal represents a robust outcome that delivers immediate, certain value, according to the company's statement.
Carol Leaman, chair of the special committee, said the recommendations reinforce the board's view that the transaction is the best path for shareholders. “These recommendations further reinforce the Board's unanimous belief that this is the best path forward for shareholders to realize immediate, significant, and certain value for their investment,” she said in the release.
The special meeting is scheduled for July 30, 2026, at 10 a.m. Toronto time. Shareholders of record as of June 25 are eligible to vote. The deadline to cast votes is July 28 at 10 a.m. Toronto time.
