EverCommerce is working with investment bank Centerview Partners to explore its options, the sources said.
EverCommerce’s board has formed a special committee comprising independent directors to handle the sale process, to allow for the possibility that its two top shareholders, buyout firms PSG Equity and Silver Lake, may participate in the transaction, the sources said.
PSG Equity and Silver Lake, which own 45% and 35% of EverCommerce respectively, have not decided whether they will be part of a potential deal and could decide to cash out should there be a transaction, the sources said.
The sources cautioned that there is no certainty that any deal will materialize and asked not to be identified because the deliberations are confidential.
PSG Equity and Silver Lake declined to comment, while EverCommerce and Centerview did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
