Further, this adjustment has no impact on ARR or its related measures, cash position, or the U.S dollar value of Darktrace&#8217;s FY 23 guidance.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In any case, observers have suggested other reasons behind Thoma Bravo&#8217;s decision to pull out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For investors with long memories, this is par for the course \u2013 and they will remember that Micro Focus had the same thing happen a number of years ago. The only rational explanation is that Thoma walked away because they couldn&#8217;t get to the price that they wanted,&#8221; Goodbody analyst George O&#8217;Connor said in a client note.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2021, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2021\/04\/30\/darktrace_ipo\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Darktrace enjoyed a bumper IPO<\/a> climbing 40 percent on its London Stock Exchange debut after an opening valuation of \u00a31.7bn.<\/p>\n<p>Darktrace has built something it calls an &#8220;enterprise immune system,&#8221; which it says uses machine learning to identify and respond to security threats and incidents across cloud, IoT, virtualized networks, and industrial control systems.<\/p>\n<p>Darktrace is backed in part by Mike Lynch, the former Autonomy CEO who <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2022\/01\/28\/lynch_extradition\/\" rel=\"noopener\">saw his extradition request to America granted<\/a>. He is set to face criminal charges over the sale of Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard in 2011 for $11 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Darktrace pulled in $65 million in VC funding following a 2015 investment of $22.5m.<\/p>\n<p>The Cambridge-based business was founded in 2013 by former Autonomy exec Poppy Gustafsson, now CEO, and members of the intelligence agencies. It counts one-time GCHQ deputy head of cyber defence Andrew France and ex-MI5 director-general Sir Jonathan Evans as board members.<\/p>\n<p>The collapse of the Darktrace private equity sale adds the outfit to a list of companies concerning for those interested in the UK tech market&#8217;s wellbeing. Canadian software company OpenText is buying Micro Focus in a deal worth around $6 billion; software company NortonLifeLock purchased Avast; and France&#8217;s Schneider Electric is said to be
