ePlus inc. (NASDAQ: PLUS) has signed a definitive agreement to divest the majority of its U.S. Financing Business to Marlin Leasing Corporation for approximately $180 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. The sale will occur through the transfer of recently reorganised subsidiaries into Expo Holdings, LLC ("HoldCo"), 100% of which will be purchased by Marlin.
Transaction economics: the cash payment equals (i) estimated HoldCo book value as of 31-Mar-25, plus a $2.4 million premium, less transaction expenses. A post-closing true-up based on final book value will set the definitive Purchase Price. In addition, ePlus may receive (i) up to $2.96 million of "Holdback Premium" tied to lease-origination targets over the first 30 months and (ii) two separate earn-outs over three years:
- Lease Originations Earn-Out – capped at $10 million.
- Transaction Gains Earn-Out – uncapped, based on profitability of leases to U.S. federal entities.
Strategic terms & covenants: ePlus accepts a 3-year non-compete in U.S. financing activities related to the divested segment and a similar non-solicitation of HoldCo senior staff. Both parties provide customary representations, warranties and indemnities, each capped at the final Purchase Price and subject to deductibles, with fraud carve-outs.
Closing mechanics: key conditions include (i) all required governmental consents (HSR waiting period has already expired), (ii) no injunctions, (iii) accuracy of reps & warranties, (iv) retention of certain key executives and (v) absence of material adverse effect. Either party may terminate if the deal has not closed by 20-Dec-25. Management expects closing within 60 days.
Rationale & implications: The divestiture monetises a capital-intensive, lower-margin financing segment, injects immediate liquidity, and allows management to focus on higher-growth technology solutions and services. Future upside is preserved through premiums and earn-outs tied to origination volume and profitability under Marlin’s ownership. Risks include loss of diversified revenue streams, dependency on buyer performance for contingent consideration, and execution risk before closing.
