Bowman Consulting Group adds merger disclosures as two New York lawsuits challenge deal
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. filed a supplement to its proxy statement for its pending merger with Prive Parent, Inc., an affiliate of Bernhard Capital Partners, after receiving stockholder demand letters and two New York lawsuits. The lawsuits seek to block the merger until more disclosures are made, or alternatively rescission or damages. The company says the claims are without merit, but it added the disclosures to avoid delays to the merger and to limit defense costs.
Key points
- Merger agreement dated August 10, 2026; special meeting of stockholders set for November 4, 2026
- Two lawsuits filed in New York Supreme Court: Smith on October 14, 2026 and Scott on October 15, 2026, naming the company and each board member
- Supplemental disclosures include a BofA Securities analysis applying 10.5x to 13.5x to adjusted EBITDA of $79 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2026
