JFJTORONTO - Brookfield Asset Management Ltd., together with Brookfield Business Partners, has signed a deal to buy payment processing firm Network International Holdings for about $3.7 billion in cash.
Under the agreement, Brookfield will pay 400 pence per share for the company listed on the London Stock Exchange for a total of about 2.2 billion pounds.
The offer tops a proposal from CVC Advisers Ltd. and Francisco Partners Management LP of 387 pence per share.
Brookfield says it believes Network is an attractive business with a strong position in the large and fast-growing Middle East and Africa payments space.
It noted the company has a diversified and long-standing customer base including more than 150,000 merchants and 200 financial institutions.
Brookfield added that there is potential in a combination of Network and Magnati Sole Proprietorship LLC, a payments company operating in the UAE that is 60 per cent owned by private equity funds managed by Brookfield and 40 per cent by First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC.
