(Reuters) -Private equity firm Warburg Pincus struck a deal to buy Germany's PSI Software for more than 700 million euros ($811 million), with shareholder E.ON remaining a strategic investor, the companies said on Monday. Reuters first reported on both a nearing takeover of PSI on Friday and Warburg Pincus' offer for the maker of software for energy networks on Sunday. Having jumped nearly 11% on Friday after the news broke, PSI shares had gained a further 35% at 0733 GMT, reaching 44.7 euros – their highest since January 2022. That was close to the offered price of 45 euros apiece in Warburg Pincus' deal, amounting to a premium of about 50% from the company's closing price on Thursday.
