BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ADT Inc.<\/a> (NYSE: ADT), the most trusted brand in smart home and small business security, today completed the previously announced divestiture of its commercial security, fire, and life safety business unit to GTCR, a leading private equity firm, for a purchase price of $1.6 billion, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.<\/p>\n
