According to news reports, SAP submits a formal, non-public offer to acquire BlackLine for $66 per share. The Board rejected the bid.

SAP considers reopening negotiations with BlackLine, according to a news report (published on October 27 and updated on October 28).

Engaged Capital issues a public letter to BlackLine’s Board calling on it to capitalize on reportedly renewed acquisition interest from SAP and immediately launch a strategic alternatives process.

According to a news report, additional investors, including Ananym Capital Management, Tensile Capital Management and Sheffield Asset Management, are also pushing BlackLine to explore a potential sale following reported takeover interest by SAP.

Citizens discloses in an analyst report that BlackLine Chairman and CEO Owen Ryan commented at an investor lunch held in New York City on November 12, 2025 that the Strategic Committee “was first formed about four years ago.”

Engaged Capital discloses that it submitted a demand, pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to BlackLine to inspect books and records relating to the Board’s handling of acquisition offers as well as the formation and activities of the Strategic Committee.

BlackLine releases a three-sentence statement that completely omits any information about the reported offer from SAP, a potential strategic alternatives process or the Board’s Strategic Committee.

Engaged Capital announces its intention to nominate a slate of new, highly qualified director candidates for election to BlackLine's Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
