On April 7, 2025, FHL entered into a share purchase agreement with Rivington Energy Management Limited (Rivington) and its shareholders regarding the acquisition of a majority (60%) equity interest in Rivington, a U.K.-based renewable energy
project development business. The acquisition provides an opportunity to further accelerate Federated Hermes’ growth in markets outside of the U.S. and was simultaneously completed on April 7, 2025.
The share purchase agreement provided for an upfront cash payment of £23.7 million ($30.6 million) for the majority (60%) equity interest in Rivington, including stamp duty taxes. The upfront cash payment included a £12.9 million ($16.7 million) capital contribution principally to provide Rivington funds for growth capital and debt repayment. The share purchase agreement also provides for a series of contingent purchase price payments, which can total as much as £10.7 million ($13.8 million) in the aggregate and can become payable annually over the next four years based on certain levels of revenue growth. The share purchase agreement and other related transaction documents contain certain negotiated warranties, covenants, indemnities, and other terms customary for similar transactions in the U.K.
Due to the timing of the Rivington acquisition, the information necessary to complete the preliminary purchase price allocation is not yet available. This information will be available in connection with the second quarter 2025 reporting.
On April 24, 2025, the board of directors declared a $0.34 per share dividend to Federated Hermes’ Class A and Class B common stock shareholders of record as of May 8, 2025 to be paid on May 15, 2025.
