The sources told Reuters EverCommerce’s board has formed a special committee of independent directors to handle the process and possibly allow its two top shareholders – PSG Equipty and Silver Lake – to participate in a proposed transaction.

EverCommerce and Centerview did not respond to requests for comment from Reuters and PSG Equity and Silver Lake declined to comment.
