Guidewire said the transaction would extend its software into AI-assisted tools used by insurers to evaluate risk and set prices. The contingent portion could bring the total consideration to $2.1 billion if agreed revenue goals are reached.
The structure puts most of the price in cash at closing while keeping part of the value dependent on future performance. The announcement does not make the maximum payment certain.
