Weave Announces Acquisition by Francisco Partners

Transaction Accelerates Investment in Weave’s AI-Powered Platform for Healthcare Practices

Weave Stockholders to Receive $7.40 Per Share in Cash, Representing a 34% Premium

LEHI, Utah & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#getweave--Weave Communications, Inc. (“Weave”) (NYSE: WEAV), a leading AI-powered patient engagement and payments platform purpose-built for healthcare practices, and Francisco Partners (“FP”), a leading global investment firm that specializes in partnering with technology companies and technology-enabled businesses, today announced that FP has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Weave, at an aggregate equity valuation of approximately $650 Million.

Under the terms of the agreement, Weave stockholders will receive $7.40 per share in cash, representing a premium of approximately 34% to Weave’s unaffected closing stock price on August 17, 2026, the last full trading day prior to the transaction announcement. Upon completion of the transaction, Weave will cease to trade on the NYSE and become a private company.

Founded in 2008, Weave is a leading all-in-one customer experience and payments software platform for small and medium-sized healthcare businesses. Weave’s software solutions transform how healthcare practices attract, communicate with, and engage patients and clients to grow their business. Following the completion of the transaction Weave will continue to operate under the Weave name and maintain its headquarters in Lehi, Utah.

“Since our founding in 2008, we have built Weave for a customer most software companies overlook — the independent practices that care for patients in communities across the country. More than 40,000 locations rely on us today,” said Brett White, Chief Executive Officer of Weave. “Together with Francisco Partners, we will be able to enhance our ability to invest in our AI platform, deepen our payments and revenue cycle management capabilities, and further our vision of a better healthcare experience at every practice. Today’s announcement represents a compelling outcome for our stockholders, and we look forward to partnering with Francisco Partners, who have an extensive track record in successfully scaling companies at the intersection of vertical software and healthcare, in the next phase of Weave’s journey.”

Stuart C. Harvey Jr., Chair of the Weave Board of Directors added, “The Weave Board conducted a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives and spoke with a number of strategic and financial parties. The transaction with Francisco Partners delivers a substantial premium and compelling, certain cash value to our stockholders. The Board unanimously determined that this transaction represents the best path forward for Weave and recommends that stockholders vote in favor of the transaction. On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank Brett and the Weave team for building a business that has achieved this outcome and is positioned for continued growth.”

“Weave is ideally positioned to capitalize on the healthcare industry’s large and growing demand for AI to help optimize their practices and services,” said Ezra Perlman, Co-President at Francisco Partners. “Its vertical platform sits at the center of how tens of thousands of practices communicate with their patients and collect revenue, a position that is difficult to build and harder still to replicate.” Nick Nelson, Principal at Francisco Partners, added, “Weave has built a differentiated platform, and we see significant opportunity to build on that position through continued product innovation and by expanding the value Weave delivers to its customers. We are excited to partner with the entire team for the next chapter of Weave’s growth.”

Transaction Details, Approvals and Timing

The transaction, which was unanimously approved by the Weave Board of Directors, is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Weave stockholders and the receipt of required regulatory approvals.

As of the date of the Agreement, no executive officer has entered into any agreement with Francisco Partners to roll over equity, invest alongside the buyer, or acquire an equity interest in the surviving company.
