Insights

Forager’s group proposes a cash take‑private of Repay at $4.80 per share, but the offer is non-binding and uncertain.

The filing shows Forager-related entities beneficially own 12.9% of Repay Holdings Corp, calculated against 85,880,982 shares outstanding as of March 4, 2026. On April 17, 2026, they sent a non-binding Proposal Letter to Repay’s board to acquire all remaining shares at $4.80 per share in cash.

The proposal is explicitly described as non-binding and subject to board approval, definitive documentation and other contingencies. The filing notes there can be no assurance that discussions will lead to a definitive agreement or that any agreed transaction will close, so the outcome remains highly uncertain based on this information alone.

Schedule 13D/A regulatory
"If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition..."
A Schedule 13D/A is an amended disclosure filed with regulators by an investor who already reported owning more than 5% of a company’s shares and needs to update their original filing. Think of it as a public status update that tells markets whether the investor’s ownership, plans, or source of funds have changed; such updates matter because they can signal a push for control, major strategic moves, or increased pressure on management, which can affect stock prices.
non-binding proposal financial
"the Reporting Persons delivered a non-binding proposal (the "Proposal Letter") to the Board of Directors"
A non-binding proposal is an offer or plan presented by one party that outlines terms they would like to pursue but does not create a legally enforceable obligation. Think of it like a detailed handshake or a draft invitation to negotiate: it signals intent and frames possible outcomes, but either side can walk away or change terms without legal penalty. Investors watch these because they can move a stock’s price by suggesting a possible deal, yet they carry higher uncertainty than formal agreements.
beneficially owned financial
"Aggregate amount beneficially owned by each reporting person 11,106,648.00"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
sole voting power financial
"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: | 7 | Sole Voting Power"
Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.
sole dispositive power financial
"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: | 9 | Sole Dispositive Power"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
