British data intelligence firm GBG to buy Acuant in $736 million deal

Reuters

(Reuters) - Data intelligence specialist GB Group said on Thursday it would buy U.S.-based peer Acuant Intermediate for an enterprise value of $736 million, expanding its identity verification and identity fraud prevention business.

The London-listed company, which uses its location and identity software to help clients including online trading platform Plus500 and retailer THG onboard customers, said it would raise about 305 million pounds ($411.63 million) in equity to partly fund the deal.
