Tyro Payments Proposes to Acquire Smartpay

Tyro Payments has made a move to expand its footprint, issuing a non-binding indicative offer to acquire 100% of Smartpay Holdings Limited. The proposed deal would see Tyro acquire Smartpay's shares at NZ$1.00 (around A$0.90) per share, with the consideration comprising mostly Tyro shares along with a cash component.

Smartpay has confirmed receiving this proposal from Tyro, as well as a separate offer from an international strategic party to also acquire the company in its entirety. Both proposals are preliminary and highly conditional, requiring satisfactory due diligence and definitive transaction documentation.

To assess the merits of each offer, Smartpay has decided to grant limited, non-exclusive access to both Tyro and the other interested party to conduct initial commercial due diligence. Reciprocal due diligence will also be undertaken on Tyro given the share-based nature of its proposal.
