SDG Deepens Cyber Resilience Offerings Through Strategic Acquisition of PAM Solutions Provider, Synergetika
NORWALK, Conn., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SDG, a global provider of AI-driven identity, threat, and risk management solutions, today announced its acquisition of Synergetika, a solutions provider specializing in Privileged Access Management (PAM). This strategic move strengthens SDG's delivery capabilities and deepens its expertise in helping organizations secure critical systems through expert PAM strategy and implementation.
Privileged access abuse is a top cause of cyberattacks, especially insider threats and lateral movement within compromised systems. Organizations of all sizes understand that an effective PAM program is crucial to prevent breaches and protect critical infrastructure, particularly in industries like finance, healthcare, and energy, where the stakes are higher.
"With this acquisition, SDG reinforces its mission to deliver the industry's foremost identity security and access management expertise to every client," said Ajay Gupta, CEO of SDG. "In today's hybrid and dynamic IT environments, controlling and monitoring privileged access has never been more critical. Synergetika brings highly specialized talent and experience in PAM advisory and implementation, which can immediately expand the value we bring to our clients."
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Toronto, Synergetika has earned a reputation for guiding mid-sized and enterprise clients through the complexities of PAM program design, technology selection, and scaled implementation. Its deep partnerships with leading PAM technology providers – CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Microsoft – align seamlessly with SDG's existing ecosystem, further enhancing the firm's ability to serve complex identity and access needs.
"Since inception, Synergetika has focused on helping clients navigate the demanding process of selecting and deploying the right PAM solution for their unique environments," said Leon Lukiyanets, Co-founder and Managing Director of Synergetika. "Joining SDG gives us the scale, platform, and shared purpose to elevate that mission and continue helping enterprises build secure, resilient infrastructures."
"The acquisition of Synergetika strengthens SDG's comprehensive identity and access management offering," said Charles Phillips, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Recognize, SDG's majority shareholder. "We understand the business value PAM expertise can bring to enterprise clients."
The Synergetika team will join SDG as part of its growing identity and access management practice. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

CyberArk Software Ltd. Announces Proposed Private Offering of $750 million of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030
NEWTON, Mass. & PETACH TIKVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CyberArk Software Ltd. (Nasdaq: CYBR) ('CyberArk'), the global leader in identity security, today announced its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $750 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the 'Notes') in a private offering (the 'Offering') to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'). In connection with the Offering, CyberArk expects to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The final terms of the Notes, including the initial conversion price and certain other terms, will be determined at the time of pricing of the Offering. When issued, the Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of CyberArk. The Notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the Notes will not accrete. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior to February 15, 2030, the Notes will be convertible at the option of holders only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods. Thereafter, the Notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately prior to the maturity date. The Notes will be convertible into cash, ordinary shares of CyberArk or a combination thereof, with the form of consideration determined at CyberArk's election. CyberArk may redeem for cash (1) all of the Notes at any time on or prior to the 31 st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date if certain tax-related events occur and (2) all or any portion (subject to certain limitations) of the Notes, at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 20, 2028, and on or before the 31 st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at its option at any time and from time to time, if the last reported sale price per share of CyberArk's ordinary shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If certain corporate events that constitute a 'fundamental change' occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require CyberArk to repurchase their Notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. In connection with the pricing of the Notes, CyberArk expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Offering and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (in this capacity, the 'Option Counterparties'). The capped call transactions are expected to cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, up to the number of shares of CyberArk's ordinary shares that will initially underlie the Notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, then CyberArk expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the Option Counterparties. The capped call transactions are expected to generally reduce the potential dilution to the ordinary shares of CyberArk upon any conversion of Notes and/or to offset any cash payments CyberArk is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of CyberArk's ordinary shares, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, with such reduction of potential dilution and/or offset of cash payments subject to a cap. CyberArk has been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the ordinary shares of CyberArk concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could have the effect of increasing (or reducing the size of any decrease in) the market price of the ordinary shares or the Notes at that time. In addition, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the ordinary shares and/or by purchasing or selling ordinary shares or other securities of CyberArk in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so following any conversion, repurchase or redemption of the Notes, in each case, if CyberArk exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions and in connection with any negotiated unwind or modification of the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause an increase or avoid a decrease in the market price of the ordinary shares of CyberArk or the Notes, which could affect the ability of holders of Notes to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the number of ordinary shares, if any, and value of the consideration that holders of Notes will receive upon conversion of the Notes. CyberArk intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions, and the remaining net proceeds for working capital or other general corporate purposes. CyberArk may also use a portion of the net proceeds to make acquisitions or investments. However, CyberArk has not entered into any agreements or commitments for any specific acquisition or investment at this time. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, CyberArk expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the Option Counterparties and the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Pending these uses, CyberArk intends to invest the net proceeds in high-quality, short-term fixed income instruments which include corporate, financial institution, federal agency or U.S. government obligations. The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the Notes and the ordinary shares of CyberArk issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, the Notes and such ordinary shares, if any, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer or sale of, the Notes (or any ordinary shares of CyberArk issuable upon conversion of the Notes) in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
