PITTSBURGH, Sept. 11, 2019 – ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS), the global leader and
innovator of engineering simulation software, announced today that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Livermore Software Technology
Corporation (LSTC), the premier provider of explicit dynamics and other
advanced finite element analysis technology. Once closed, the acquisition
will empower ANSYS customers to solve a new class of engineering challenges,
including developing safer automobiles, aircraft and trains while reducing
or even eliminating the need for costly physical testing. The purchase price
for the transaction is $775 million, of which 60% of the consideration will
be paid in cash and 40% will be paid through the issuance of ANSYS common
stock to the current owners of LSTC. In conjunction with the transaction,
