This filing marks a significant escalation in the activist campaign by Forager Fund, a 12.4% owner, against Repay Holdings' Board. The public disclosure of the Board's rejection of a premium all-cash offer, coupled with Forager's detailed criticism of the company's strategic direction and past acquisition failures, puts immense pressure on the Board.
