Forager Bumps Repay Buyout Bid to $5.25 Per Share
Forager has sweetened its takeover proposal for Repay, raising the offer price to $5.25 per share in a renewed push to close a deal.
Forager is turning up the heat on Repay. The firm has raised its proposal to acquire Repay Holdings to $5.25 per share, signaling that it isn't walking away from this deal anytime soon. When a buyer comes back with a higher number, that's a signal worth paying attention to.
A raised bid tells you one thing clearly: Forager thinks the original offer wasn't going to get it done. Whether that's because Repay's board pushed back, shareholders balked, or competing interest emerged, the bump to $5.25 is a tactical move designed to force a decision. This is how acquisition negotiations play out in public — pressure, counter, escalate.

Keep your position sizing tight and your alerts set.
