Converge Technology Solutions said it has agreed to be acquired by an affiliate of Florida-based H.I.G. Capital in a deal with an enterprise value of about 1.3 billion Canadian dollars ($908.7 million).
Shareholders in the Canadian technology company will receive C$5.50 per share in cash, representing about a 56% premium to Thursday's closing price of C$3.53.
So far in the year, the stock has risen about 8% as of Thursday's close. Over the past 12 months, the stock is down about 25%.
Converge said its board unanimously approved the deal, and shareholders representing about 24% of its outstanding shares have entered into voting support agreements in favor of the transaction.
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of this year.
