(A Top Pick Feb 17/16. Down 20%.) This got privatized.

(Top Pick Feb 17/16, Down 19.76%) It fell apart and was acquired. They fell apart integrating their US acquisitions. They are no longer a public corp.

There was a big drop off that took place in late 2016, and then it partially recovered. He understands that they are in the middle of talks for a buyout, with the price being close to where it is right now. There is not a lot of potential.

Being acquired at $25.30 a share. It doesn’t look like there is going to be anybody else coming in and paying a higher price. If you have another idea, then you could sell it right now and move on.

It was a short in the past. You are looking at a merger arbitrage trade. It is the time value now.

(Top Pick Feb 17/16, Down 17%) They are effectively being taken out. He liked what they were acquiring. The problem was their execution failed and they bought acquisitions through debt. It was a bit of a miss.

(Market Call Minute) They are having troubles in the US.

He bought more when it fell after earnings came out last quarter. Hopefully this quarter they get some of the business from the RFPs they put out previously.

In December, he upgraded this to a sector outperform again. Private equity was approaching them to possibly pick apart part of the business. A very cheap FinTech play. He can understand why the stock cratered. Their US lending business will pick up, and he doesn’t think the Canadian business is declining as fast as we saw last quarter.

He started re-buying it a month ago. He thinks it will get taken over. They have received unsolicited offers after the stock sold off. He suspects it is private equity firms.
