Buckley Capital Advisors Issues Statement Regarding Controlling Shareholder's Take-Private Proposal for Priority Technology Holdings, Inc.
Opposition to Acquisition Proposal: Buckley Capital Advisors opposes the non-binding proposal from Priority Technology's CEO, Thomas Priore, to acquire remaining shares at a price significantly undervaluing the company, urging the Board to reject it.
Call for Independent Review: The advisory firm calls for the Special Committee of the Board to commit to a transparent review of all strategic alternatives, emphasizing the need to maximize shareholder value beyond the interests of the controlling Investor Group.
Valuation Concerns: The proposed acquisition price of $6.00 to $6.15 per share is criticized as inadequate, with analyses suggesting the intrinsic value of PRTH shares is between $15 to $20, based on the company's strong business model and growth prospects.
Market Sentiment and Future Outlook: Buckley Capital Advisors believes the current decline in PRTH's share price is temporary and does not reflect the company's true value, projecting a recovery and higher valuation in the near future.
