PricewaterhouseCoopers Completes Diamond Acquisition; Launches PwC Diamond Advisory
Monadnock Research (VIII N53) - 3 November 2010
MR - PricewaterhouseCoopers has completed its $376 million acquisition of Diamond Management & Technology Consultants following shareholder approval on 2 November. Diamond's outstanding shares were acquired by PwC for $12.50 per share in the all-cash deal, and it is now an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PwC's U.S. affiliate. All of Diamond's former Practice Partners joined PwC as partners or principals, and most of its professional staff appears to have been retained. There was likely, however, significant turnover among non-professional staff, since most of these functions were redundant and could be integrated within PwC's existing operations. PwC retains the Diamond brand, and the practice will now be know as PwC's Diamond Advisory Services. The organization will continue to be led by its former President and CEO, Adam Gutstein.
