P10 Completes Acquisition of Western Technology Investment, Market Leader in Venture Debt
DALLAS, Oct. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — P10, Inc. (NYSE: PX) (“P10” or the “Company”), a leading private markets solutions provider, today announced it has completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the outstanding membership interests of Westech Investment Advisors LLC, a California limited liability company (“WTI”) (the “Acquisition” or “Transaction”) through its subsidiary, P10 Intermediate Holdings LLC, for a purchase price consisting of $97,000,008 in cash and an aggregate of 3,916,666 membership units of P10 Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which can be exchanged into 3,916,666 shares of P10 common stock, following applicable restrictive periods.
P10 expects WTI to contribute more than $12.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA in its first full year following the closing. Moreover, assuming current and historic deployment pace, we expect the next WTI flagship fund (Fund XI) to be raised and activated in 2024, with strong expected incremental margins on additional management fee revenues.
P10 Co-CEOs Robert Alpert and C. Clark Webb commented, “We are excited to welcome WTI to the P10 family. WTI has a distinguished track record spanning four decades and is an industry pioneer and leader in venture debt. Adding WTI to our platform further distinguishes P10’s differentiated investment solutions.”
