Repay Holdings Gets Unsolicited Buyout Bid From Forager Capital
Repay Holdings has received an unsolicited acquisition proposal from Forager Capital Management, signaling outside investor interest in the payments firm.
Repay Holdings, the Atlanta-based payment technology company traded under the ticker RPAY, has received an unsolicited acquisition proposal from Forager Capital Management, according to a report from Yahoo Finance.

The ultimate outcome will depend heavily on valuation expectations from both sides and whether Repay's leadership views an independent path as more compelling than a negotiated sale.
