EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) has priced a secondary offering of 6,262,293 shares at $32.00 each, expected to close by August 15, 2022. The Selling Stockholder, Popular, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPOP), will net all proceeds from this sale, while EVERTEC itself will not receive any financial benefits. Concurrently, EVERTEC has agreed to repurchase $25 million worth of its shares from the Selling Stockholder post-offering. This move will likely lead to the Selling Stockholder divesting all equity in EVERTEC following the completion of this transaction.
Positive
The share repurchase of $25 million could enhance shareholder value.
Negative
The secondary offering may lead to dilution of existing shares, potentially impacting stock price.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
