Corpay agreed to buy Alpha Group International plc, a UK and European B2B cross border FX provider, for £42.50 per share in cash, implying an enterprise value of about £1.6 billion ($2.2 billion). Corpay has arranged a £1.875 billion bridge loan to fund the cash consideration and deal costs, and it reaffirmed its Q2 2025 guidance. The deal requires Alpha shareholder and court approval and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
