Summary
FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (now Corpay, Inc.) announced a significant definitive agreement to acquire CTF Technologies, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $180 million. The acquisition, which is structured as a plan of arrangement in British Columbia, Canada, targets CTF's operating company and assets located in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This strategic move is intended to expand FleetCor's operational footprint, particularly in the South American market, by acquiring a business with established machinery and equipment. The company plans to finance the transaction using existing cash reserves and borrowings under its credit facilities. A portion of the purchase price, $27 million, will be held back to cover indemnification obligations. The closing of the acquisition is contingent upon customary conditions, including court, shareholder, and regulatory approvals, with CTF shareholders expected to vote in late June 2012. Approximately 68% of CTF's shares are already committed to supporting the transaction through voting agreements with FleetCor's management and certain shareholders. FleetCor's management will host a conference call on May 2, 2012, to discuss the acquisition further.
