Palo Alto Closes $25 Billion CyberArk Deal, Plans Tel Aviv Listing

Executives say the tie-up unifies identity security for the AI era.

Overview

  • Palo Alto Networks will seek a dual listing on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker CYBR while continuing to trade on Nasdaq as PANW, with the listing date not yet disclosed.
  • Following the Tel Aviv listing, Palo Alto is set to be the largest company by market value on the TASE at roughly $115 billion, according to Reuters.
  • CyberArk shareholders are entitled to $45 in cash plus 2.2005 shares of Palo Alto common stock for each CyberArk ordinary share.
