VICTORY CAP. CL.A DL-,01

Victory Capital shares climbed intraday by 3.7% to $119.61 and hit a new 52-week high after a definitive agreement to acquire First Eagle Investments for about $7.0 billion was announced. The purchase price includes roughly $4.4 billion in cash, $2.0 billion in new Victory shares and the assumption of $575 million of senior secured notes (maturing 2032). First Eagle manages about $222 billion, which would give the combined company around $571 billion in assets under management and significantly expand Victory’s global value, multi-asset and alternative-credit capabilities. The deal confirms Victory Capital’s acquisition-driven growth strategy and follows strong Q2 results and a well-filled M&A pipeline. » Más en de.investing.com
