May 6 (Reuters) - Synopsys will sell its software integrity $(SIG)$ unit to a private equity consortium led by Clearlake Capital and Francisco Partners in a deal valued at $2.1 billion, the chip designer said on Monday.
The deal includes up to $475 million in cash payable upon the consortium achieving a specified rate of return in connection with one or more liquidity transactions, according to a statement.
Reuters had reported last week that the consortium was in advanced talks to acquire the unit for more than $2 billion.
