  • Count Limited formally completed the acquisition of the Oracle Group on 20 July 2026, with three entities — Oracle Advisory Group, Oracle Accounting (Australia), and Oracle Investment Management — now legally within Count's structure.
  • The deal was originally struck at a $72.2 million enterprise value in March 2026 before being revised down to $65.6 million, improving the return profile for Count shareholders.
