WINDSOR, Conn., Sept. 14, 2015 /CNW/ -- SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. ("SS&C") (Nasdaq:SSNC), a leading global provider of financial services software and software-enabled services, today announced the acquisition of Primatics Financial for approximately $122 million on a cash and debt free basis from The Carlyle Group. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015. Primatics has 384 employees, 2014 annual revenues of $51 million and adjusted EBITDA of $12 million.

Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, Primatics is a leader in accounting, forecasting, regulatory reporting, reserving and stress testing solutions to financial institutions holding or acquiring loans.
