- The shares have an aggregate value of $1.1 billion based on the volume-weighted average price of SoFi common stock for the 20-trading day period ended February 15, 2022.
- The transaction will be likely to close by the second quarter of 2022.
- "The acquisition of Technisys is an essential building block in delivering on our member-centric, digital one-stop-shop experience for SoFi members and our partners through Galileo, our provider of fintech cloud services," said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi.
- The estimated incremental revenue from the acquisition, including base revenue of Technisys and revenue synergies of the vertically integrated capabilities, will likely add a cumulative $500 million - $800 million through year-end 2025, at high incremental margins.
- SoFi sees the shift and the vertical integration with Galileo to create $75 million - $85 million in cumulative cost savings from 2023 - 2025 and $60 million - $70 million annually after that.
