Under the terms of the agreement, Cognex will acquire RealSense for approximately $500 million, financed entirely from existing cash and investments on its balance sheet. Cognex also expects to provide a three-year $56.5 million cash retention program at target for RealSense employees, subject to performance modifiers, and to grant restricted stock units valued at approximately $50 million under Cognex's existing 2023 Stock Option and Incentive Plan dependent on the grant-date share price. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
