Ambastha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anaplan, Inc. (<a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/PLAN\/\">PLAN<\/a>), a business planning software company, was in the headlines during the past trading week. This company was founded in 2006, became a privately held unicorn (valued at $1 billion) in 2016, and went public in 2018. A private equity firm will be acquiring Anaplan in full for $10.7 billion ($66 per share), after shareholder activists took note of Anaplan in the recent past. After a formal announcement was made on this front, the shares of Anaplan rose by +27.7% for the trading day of Monday, March 21, 2022. No one knows what the future may hold, but for now Anaplan is returning to the status of being privately held after a brief duration in the public sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Anaplan%2C+Inc.\">Anaplan, Inc.<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Anaplan\">Anaplan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=PLAN\">PLAN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=business+planning+software\">business planning software<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=private+equity\">private equity<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=private\">private<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=public\">public<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Initial+Public+Offering\">Initial Public Offering<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=IPO\">IPO<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=unicorn\">unicorn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=technology\">technology<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=tech\">tech<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=shareholder+activism\">shareholder activism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclosure &#8211; The principals and clients of Ambastha Financial LLC have no positions in <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/PLAN\/\">PLAN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclaimer &#8211; No recommendations are being made via this post.
