It means if you were a shareholder of Wiz, you will have cash in your checking/savings account within few days and you will no longer have the shares.
What if I don't want to pay capital gains?

I don't think WhatsApp had the same kind of revenue that Wiz has, even normalised for 2014 numbers.
WhatsApp purchase was for that sweet sweet data of everyone's contact lists (this was their original innovation for onboarding — just give us access to your phone book and we'll tell you who else is on WhatsApp). Their earnings were completely irrelevant in price discussions. The billions were paid for the dataset.

If you'd be so kind for those of us that haven't touched cloud in 5/10 years, what is Wiz? from reading the google announcement: solving the supply chain hybrid cloud security issues? I could google I know but you seem to know what you are talking about, so if you'd be so kind. :)
it's a linter for your yaml spaghetti
The real value is it's linter for _any_ cloud config - you can use terraform or cloudformation or just click around in user interface, and Wiz's rules would still work.
I'm surprised this acquisition didn't happen sooner. The first time I used Wiz I knew a big cloud provider would be snatching them up at some point. Why?

For a truly multi cloud customer, your second point switches from being a pro to being a con as soon as Google owns it. Why would you give one of your cloud vendors visibility over your footprint across their competition?
