Fleetcor Technologies, Inc., a leading global business payments company, announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Global Reach Group, a UK-based cross-border payments provider. With the acquisition, FLEETCOR® increases its cross-border payments scale and strengthens its position as one of the largest non-bank global cross-border providers in the world. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval and standard closing conditions.

We anticipate the deal to be immediately accretive post-close with additional synergies to layer in during year two,” said Ron Clarke, chairman, and chief executive officer of Fleetcor Technologies, Inc.

Jones Day provided legal counsel to Fleetcor. Eversheds Sutherland provided legal counsel to Global Reach, and Canaccord Genuity provided strategic and financial advice to Global Reach.

Jones Day cross-border team was led by London office partner Julian Runnicles, Atlanta office partner Patrick S. Baldwin, and a Madrid office team led by partner Miguel Bermúdez de Castro with the support of lawyers Marina Bru, Priscilla Rojas, Javier Gutiérrez, and Cristina Isern.
