MESA, Ariz., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra Mobility
(NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility
technology solutions, today announced the closing of the
transaction to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Redflex
Holdings Limited (ASX: RDF) for a purchase price
of A$0.96 per share, representing a total acquisition
price of A$152.5 million. Entry into the agreement with
Redflex was previously announced in January
2021.
"We are very excited about this acquisition," said David
Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, Verra Mobility. "Bringing
together these two companies will result in increased resources,
scale, and enhanced technology capabilities. The combination will
enable global delivery of leading road safety products and

in smart transportation."
Redflex is combining with Verra Mobility's Government Solutions
business segment, enhancing its product portfolio and technology
capabilities, and increasing its scale and global reach.
Mark J. Talbot, who served as
Redflex's CEO, will lead the Government Solutions business and join
Verra Mobility's executive leadership team.
"Both teams have been moving quickly but thoughtfully on
integration planning. Overall we expect to realize approximately
$8 million to $10 million in cost synergies in the coming 24
months. We look forward to putting our plan into action and
leveraging the 'best of both' of the companies to create
significant value for our customers and shareholders for many years
to come," added Mr. Roberts.
During calendar year 2020, Redflex Holdings Limited reported
revenue of $71.8 million and EBITDA
of $13.3 million on an IFRS basis
using a full-year average exchange rate of A$0.69:US$1.00.
As a result of the completion of the acquisition, Redflex has
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Verra Mobility, and shares of
Redflex will no longer be listed for trading on the Australian
Securities Exchange, which is expected to take effect as of the
close of market on June 21, 2021.
