Helios Consortium Lifts Possible Offer for CAB Payments to US$1.15 a Share

An update from Helios Fairfax Partners Corporation ( ($TSE:HFPC.U) ) is now available.

The Helios Consortium, which includes Helios Fairfax Partners Corporation, has put forward an increased possible offer to acquire CAB Payments Holdings plc at US$1.15 per share in cash, valuing the London-listed cross‑border payments group at about US$292 million, and intends to complement this with a partial unlisted share alternative to allow some investors to remain exposed to the company under private ownership. The consortium already controls or has support for roughly 50.33% of CAB Payments’ shares, has raised its proposal from a previously rejected US$1.05 per share, and argues that CAB Payments’ turnaround after profit downgrades, leadership changes and a withdrawn bid from StoneX would be better achieved away from the public markets, signalling a potential shift in control that could reshape governance, strategy and returns for remaining minority shareholders if a firm offer emerges.
