The stock was recently up 18.5% to $9.72, approaching the $10 a share cash offer from the buyers. Shares are down about 19% over the last year.
Late Tuesday, AvidXchange agreed to sell itself, with TPG acquiring a majority stake, while Corpay taking a majority interest in the provider of accounts payable automation software and payment solutions.
The deal is expected to close sometime in the fourth quarter.
