Forager Capital Sweetens Repay Holdings Buyout Offer to $5.25/Share
RPAY sits 87% above its 52-week low of $2.3 on elevated volume (3.3× avg).
Summary
Forager Capital Management has submitted an updated, unsolicited all-cash acquisition offer for Repay Holdings at $5.25 per share. This new proposal follows Forager's previous $4.80 per share offer, which Repay's board rejected, and an ongoing activist campaign by Forager, which holds a roughly 13% stake. The board will now review this higher offer, which represents a significant premium to the stock's recent trading. This development escalates the M&A battle and could lead to a sale of the company. The outcome of the board's review will be critical.
At the time of this announcement, RPAY was trading at $4.30 on NASDAQ in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $378.3M. The 52-week trading range was $2.30 to $6.06.
