Forager Capital Offers $4.80/Share Cash to Acquire Repay Holdings
RPAY sits 81% above its 52-week low of $2.3 on elevated volume (14× avg).
Summary
Repay Holdings has confirmed receiving an unsolicited, non-binding acquisition proposal from Forager Capital Management to acquire all outstanding shares for $4.80 per share in cash. This offer comes amidst escalating activist pressure, with Forager Capital (which recently increased its stake to 12.9%) being a key player. The proposal directly follows Repay's recent adoption of a limited-duration stockholder rights plan (poison pill) with a 12.5% trigger, a defensive measure likely aimed at Forager's accumulating ownership. The $4.80 per share offer represents a notable premium to the current stock price, signaling potential significant upside for shareholders and a possible change of control. Investors will now closely monitor the Repay board's response to this proposal and any further developments from Forager or other activist investors.
