Helios Fairfax Partners Corporation ( ($TSE:HFPC.U) ) has provided an update.

The Helios Consortium, led by Helios Fairfax Partners’ Helios Fund III, has been a shareholder in CAB Payments Holdings since 2016 and sees the company as a long-term investment in the cross-border payments and FX sector. It believes CAB Payments operates in a market undergoing rapid change, driven by new regulation, increased competition, and the rise of digital currency-based payment systems that are reshaping key currency corridors.

Helios has tabled an increased possible cash offer of US$1.15 per CAB Payments share to acquire the company’s remaining equity, after CAB Payments rejected the proposal. The consortium argues that CAB Payments has underperformed against its own and market expectations since its IPO and that a transformation in strategy and execution is urgently needed, which it contends would be better achieved under its ownership, prompting shareholders to press the board to reconsider the rejection.
