Strategic Partnership
In April 2025, the Company expanded its long-standing strategic partnership agreement with Mastercard to deliver an enhanced suite of corporate cross-border payment solutions. The transaction also includes an investment in the Company's Cross-Border business with Mastercard acquiring a 2.8% interest in the Cross-Border business for $300 million. For six months starting on July 1, 2027 (subject to extension if investment closing is delayed), Mastercard will have the right to sell its interest back to the Company. If Mastercard does not exercise that right, for four months starting on April 1, 2028 (subject to extension if investment closing is delayed), the Company will have a reciprocal repurchase right. In each case, the purchase price is the amount of invested capital plus 8% per annum, compounded annually. The investment into the Company’s Cross-Border business is expected to close during the second half of 2025.
Minority Investment
In May 2025, the Company and TPG formed a limited partnership that, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AvidXchange Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ: AVDX) (“AvidXchange”). AvidXchange is a provider of accounts payable (AP) automation solutions to lower middle market companies with a focus on several verticals including real estate, homeowners associations, financial institutions and media. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals, AvidXchange shareholder approval and other standard closing conditions.
The Company invested approximately $550 million for approximately 34% of the equity in the limited partnership for an approximately $1.9 billion enterprise valuation. The partnership will utilize approximately $450 million of debt financing to consummate the transaction. TPG will hold approximately 57% of the equity, and the management team of AvidXchange will hold the remainder. In addition to other terms, the limited partnership agreement provides that, 33 months after closing of the AvidXchange acquisition, the Company will have the right to acquire all the remaining outstanding equity in the limited partnership for approximately 2.5 times invested capital. If, in fact, we achieve our business plan, then this could represent an attractive valuation. If the Company does not exercise such right to acquire all of the remaining outstanding equity and TPG decides to sell the limited partnership to a third party within a period of 15 months thereafter, the Company will guarantee a return to its partners, subject to certain limitations, of approximately 1.6 times invested capital. The partnership will ultimately need to sell AvidXchange in 2029 for an approximately similar valuation as today’s acquisition price to avoid the requirement to pay any minimum return payment.
