March 20 (Reuters) - British cross-border payments
processor CAB Payments ( CABPF ) said on Friday that it has
rejected the recent all-cash offer from financial services firm
StoneX ( SNEX ), saying the proposal undervalues the company and
its future prospects.
In all, the firm has received three takeover proposals so
far, mainly from a Helios-led consortium and StoneX ( SNEX ).
* StoneX's ( SNEX ) recent 95 pence-per-share proposal valued CAB
Payments ( CABPF ) at 238.6 million pounds ($319.8 million).
* Prior to StoneX's ( SNEX ) offer, CAB rejected two proposals from a
Helios-led consortium, the latest offer being $1.15 per share.
* Shares of CAB payments have gained 25% since the first
proposal from the Helios-led consortium on January 24.
* London-listed payments firm's weak valuations have been
attracting suitors, including StoneX ( SNEX ), which walked away from
acquisition talks in November 2024 without making an offer.
