USA-based one of the largest independent solutions providers for converged TV advertising, Cadent announced a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of AdTheorent Holding Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADTH), a machine learning pioneer and industry leader delivering measurable value for programmatic advertisers. The company announced the transaction on April 1, 2024. The deal will take place for a cash consideration of USD 3.21 per share.
Purpose of the acquisition by Cadent
The merger creates one of the biggest independent omnichannel audience activation platforms for advertising buyers and sellers. With the support of cutting-edge machine learning and a single media and data marketplace, the recently established company will concentrate on offering enhanced performance advertising solutions that serve both digital and traditional TV markets.
Following the merger, the merged business will work with top holding companies, agency groups, independent agencies, and premium publishers, serving close to 1,000 advertisers. Furthermore, the combination of Cadent’s cookieless household identity graph and AdTheorent’s leadership in ID-independent machine learning and algorithmic audience solutions places the merged firm at the forefront of bringing disparate audiences together.
Customary closing requirements, the outcome of the regulatory review, and AdTheorent shareholder approval are all prerequisites to the transaction. The AdTheorent Board of Directors has approved the transaction, which is anticipated to close in around ninety days.
Cadent’s primary financial advisor is Moelis & Company LLC. Additionally, Baker Botts LLP provides legal guidance, while RBC Capital Markets serves as a financial advisor. AdTheorent is being advised financially by Canaccord Genuity and legally by McDermott Will & Emery LLP in relation to the proposed transaction.

What does the Novacap official have to comment
In August 2023, Cadent was acquired by Novacap, a private equity firm based in Montreal. Cadent received funding support and strategic services from Novacap during the deal.
Samuel Nasso, Partner at Novacap and Chairman of the Board of Cadent, said, “Novacap accelerates growth companies through strategic investments. We’re pleased to empower the Cadent and AdTheorent teams to further their vision of building a leading omnichannel audience platform by providing the foundational resources necessary to complete a transaction of this scale. ”
