On January 16, 2018, Blackhawk Network Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAWK) announced that Silver Lake and P2 Capital Partners have agreed to acquire Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:HAWK) in an all-cash transaction for a total consideration of approximately $3.5 billion, which includes Blackhawk's debt.
