March 17 (Reuters) - Payments processor Shift4 Payments' ( FOUR )
Chief Executive Officer Jared Isaacman said bids from
potential contenders have failed to "sufficiently value" the
company, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday.
The board determined that none of the "multiple offers"
received by Shift4 adequately valued the business or the
company's future, even though the offers were above its Shift4's
current share price, the report said, citing a memo to the
company's staff on Friday.
Shift4 did not immediately respond to a request for comment
on the Bloomberg report.
Reuters had reported in February that Fiserv ( FI ) and
Amadeus Group are competing to acquire Shift4 Payments ( FOUR ),
which has a market value of nearly $7 billion.
Shift4 collects fees from clients, ranging from restaurants,
casinos and hotels, to sports teams like the San Francisco
49ers, to facilitate their payments. It processes more than $200
billion worth of annual transactions for over 200,000 customers,
according to its website.
