i3 Verticals Reports Public Sector Acquisition and Inducement Equity Grants

The acquired business provides solutions for court system data management in the southeast and mid-Atlantic.

This business focuses on state-level customers and is the Company’s second acquisition in that market.

The Company will discuss this acquisition in further detail during its upcoming fiscal 2022 first quarter earnings call in February.

Chairman and CEO Greg Daily commented, “This 30-year-old business further expands our presence in the Public Sector vertical and adds even more products to our suite in that vertical. This transaction comes with an experienced and seasoned management team, and we expect those individuals to continue to grow this business. We are also excited about additional cross-selling opportunities between this business and others within our Public Sector vertical. We continue to execute our acquisition strategy with a focus on high-growth verticals and this was an ideal acquisition for us.”

In connection with this acquisition, the Company granted equity awards under its 2020 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan to employees in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The Company granted options to purchase a total of 100,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to nine employees as a material inducement for them to enter into employment with the Company.
