`COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATIONS
`OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE
`ACT OF 1934

`
`JURY TRIAL DEMAND
`

`
`ROBERT SCOTT,
`
`
`
`
` v.
`
`EVO PAYMENTS, INC., JAMES G. KELLY,
`MARK A. CHANCY, VAHE A.
`DOMBALAGIAN, JOHN S. GARABEDIAN,

`LAURA M. MILLER, STACEY V.
`PANAYIOTOU, GREGORY S. POPE, and
`MATTHEW W. RAINO,
`
`
`Defendants.
`
`Plaintiff Robert Scott (“Plaintiff”) alleges the following upon information and belief,
`
`including investigation of counsel and review of publicly available information, except as to those
`
`allegations pertaining to Plaintiff, which are alleged upon personal knowledge:
`
`NATURE OF THE ACTION
`
`1.
`
`Plaintiff brings this action against EVO Payments, Inc. (“EVO” or the “Company”)
`
`and EVO’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Individual Defendants”) for their violations of
`
`Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15.U.S.C. §§ 78n(a), 78t(a), and
`
`SEC Rule 14a-9, 17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9, arising out of the Board’s attempt to sell the Company to
`
`Global Payments Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiary Falcon Merger Sub Inc. (collectively
`
`“Global Payments”).
`
`2.
`
`Defendants have violated the above-referenced Sections of the Exchange Act by
`
`causing a materially incomplete and misleading definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy”) to be
`
`filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 22, 2022. The Proxy
`
`recommends that EVO stockholders vote in favor of a proposed transaction (the “Proposed
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-08600 Document 1 Filed 10/10/22 Page 2 of 14
`
`Transaction”) whereby EVO is acquired by Global Payments. The Proposed Transaction was first
`
`disclosed on August 1, 2022, when EVO and Global Payments announced that they had entered
`
`into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Global Payments
`
`will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of EVO for $34.00 per share (the
`
`“Merger Consideration”). The deal is valued at approximately $4.0 billion and is expected to close
`
`no later than the first quarter of 2023.
`
`3.
`
`The Proxy is materially incomplete and contains misleading representations and
`
`information in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, the Proxy
`
`contains materially incomplete and misleading information concerning the financial projections
`
`prepared by EVO management, the financial analyses conducted by Citi Global Markets Inc.
`
`(“Citi”), EVO’s financial advisor, and Citi and Company Insiders’ potential conflicts of interest.
`
`4.
`
`For these reasons, and as set forth in detail herein, Plaintiff seeks to enjoin
`
`Defendants from taking any steps to consummate the Proposed Transaction, including filing an
`
`amendment to the Proxy with the SEC or otherwise causing an amendment to the Proxy to be
`
`disseminated to EVO’s stockholders, unless and until the material information discussed below is
`
`included in any such amendment or otherwise disseminated to EVO’s stockholders. In the event
`
`the Proposed Transaction is consummated without the material omissions referenced below being
`
`remedied, Plaintiff seeks to recover damages resulting from the Defendants’ violations.

`
`Personal jurisdiction exists over each Defendant either because the Defendant
`
`conducts business in or maintains operations in this District, or is an individual who is either
`
`present in this District for jurisdictional purposes or has sufficient minimum contacts with this
`
`District as to render the exercise of jurisdiction over Defendant by this Court permissible under
`
`traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.

`
`Venue is proper in this District under Section 27 of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. §
`
`78aa, as well as under 28 U.S.C. § 1391, because a significant amount of the conduct at issue took
`
`place and had an effect in this District.

`
`• Provides significant financial and operating scale with combined adjusted
`net revenue of $9.8 billion1 and adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 billion
`
`
`
`
`
`• Offers compelling value creation with significant expected synergies and
`adjusted earnings per share accretion in the first year post close
`
`
`ATLANTA — August 1, 2022 — Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN), a leading
`worldwide provider of payment technology and software solutions, and EVO
`Payments, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVOP), a leading global provider of payment
`technology integrations and acquiring solutions, today announced that Global
`Payments will acquire EVO in an all-cash transaction for $34.00 per share.
`
`The transaction will significantly increase Global Payments’ target addressable
`markets, further enhance its leadership in integrated payments worldwide, expand
`its presence in new and existing faster growth geographies, and augment its B2B
`software and payment solutions with the addition of accounts receivable software
`with broad third-party acceptance.
`
`“The acquisition of EVO is highly complementary to our technology-enabled
`strategy and provides meaningful opportunities to increase scale in our business
`globally,” said Cameron Bready, President and Chief Operating Officer, Global
`Payments. “Together with EVO, we are positioned to deliver an unparalleled suite
`of distinctive software and payment solutions to our combined 4.5 million merchant
`locations and more than 1,500 financial institutions worldwide.”
`
`The transaction will expand Global Payments’ geographic footprint into attractive
`new geographies such as Poland, Germany, Chile, and upon closing, Greece, as
`well as enhance its scale in existing markets, including the United States, Canada,
`Mexico, Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
`
`The acquisition will also add leading accounts receivable automation software
`capabilities that complement Global Payments’ existing B2B and accounts payable
`offerings. Further, EVO will bring an array of key technology partners and
`proprietary integrations, including with the most widely used ERP software
`providers.
`
`“Joining EVO and Global Payments will unite highly complementary portfolios of
`technology-enabled products and partnerships to create an even stronger
`organization serving a broader customer base,” added Jim Kelly, Chief Executive

`
`Transaction Details
`
`The transaction has been unanimously approved by each company’s Board of
`Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Global Payments will
`acquire the outstanding equity of EVO for $34.00 per share in cash ($4.0 billion of
`enterprise value for EVO). The purchase price represents a premium of
`approximately 24% and 40% to EVO’s last closing price and to its 60-day average
`price, respectively, as of July 29, 2022.
`
`Global Payments expects to finance the acquisition with cash on hand and a
`committed bank facility. Silver Lake will make a strategic investment of $1.5
`billion in Global Payments in the form of a convertible note. In connection with the
`investment by Silver Lake, and subject to market conditions and other factors,
`Global Payments expects to enter into a call spread or other derivative transaction
`designed to raise the effective conversion premium of the convertible note.
`
`The transaction, which is subject to EVO stockholder approval, regulatory
`approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to deliver $125
`million of run-rate synergies and be accretive in the first year after close. The
`transaction is expected to close no later than the first quarter of 2023.
`
`B. The Materially Incomplete and Misleading Proxy
`
`25.
`
`On September 22, 2022, Defendants filed the Proxy with the SEC. The purpose of
`
`the Proxy is, inter alia, to provide the Company’s stockholders with all material information
`
`necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote in favor of the Proposed
`
`Transaction. However, significant and material facts were not provided to Plaintiff. Without such
`
`information, Plaintiff cannot make a fully informed decision concerning whether to vote in favor
`
`of the Proposed Transaction.
`
`Materially Incomplete and Misleading Disclosures Concerning the
`Management-Prepared Financial Forecasts
`
`26.
`
`The Proxy discloses management-prepared financial projections for the Company
`
`which are materially misleading. The Proxy indicates that in connection with the rendering of
`
`Citi’s fairness opinion, Citi reviewed “examined certain publicly available business and financial
`
`information relating to EVO as well as the Management Projections.” Accordingly, the Proxy
`
`should have, but failed to, provide certain information in the projections that EVO’s management
`6
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-08600 Document 1 Filed 10/10/22 Page 7 of 14
`
`provided to the Board and Citi.
`
`27.
`
`Notably, Defendants failed to disclose the line item entries forming the basis of the
`
`following calculations: (a) Adjusted EBITDA; (b) Adjusted Net Income Per Share; and (c)
`
`Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flows.
`
`28.
`
`This omitted information is necessary for Plaintiff to make an informed decision on
`
`whether to vote in favor of the Proposed Transaction.
`
`Materially Incomplete and Misleading Disclosures Concerning Citi’s
`Financial Analyses
`
`29. With respect to the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis performed by Citi, the Proxy
`
`fails to disclose: (a) EVO’s terminal year unlevered after-tax free cash flow; (b) EVO’s terminal
`
`values; (c) the key data, inputs, and assumptions forming the basis of the range of discount rates
`
`applied by Citi; (d) EVO’s net debt; and (e) EVO’s outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis.
`
`30. With respect to the Selected Public Companies Analysis performed by Citi, the
`
`Proxy fails to disclose: (a) the specific financial metrics and multiples for each of the companies
`
`chosen and studied by Citi; (b) EVO’s net debt; (c) EVO’s non-controlling interest in consolidated
`
`entities (including pro forma adjustments for pending acquisitions); (d) EVO’s investments in
`
`equity securities; and (e) EVO’s outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis.
`
`31. With respect to the Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis performed by Citi,
`
`the Proxy fails to disclose: (a) the specific financial multiples and metrics for each of the
`
`transactions chosen and studied Citi; (b) EVO’s net debt; (c) EVO’s non-controlling interest in
`
`consolidated entities (including pro forma adjustments for pending acquisitions); (d) the
`
`Company’s investments in equity securities; and (e) EVO’s outstanding shares on a fully diluted
`
`basis.
`
`
`
`32. With respect to the analysis of Wall Street research analysts’ one-year forward price
`
`7
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-08600 Document 1 Filed 10/10/22 Page 8 of 14
`
`targets, the Proxy fails to disclose the specific price targets studied and their sources.
`
`33. With respect to the analysis of implied premiums paid in selected acquisition
`
`transactions conducted by Citi, the Proxy fails to disclose the transactions studied and their
`
`individual premiums.
`
`Materially Incomplete and Misleading Disclosures Concerning Citi and
`Company Insiders’ Potential Conflicts of Interest
`
`34.
`
`The Proxy fails to disclose material information concerning potential conflicts of
`
`interest faced by Citi, specifically, details concerning services provided by Citi or its affiliates to
`
`MDP LLC and Blueapple (or their respective affiliates) in the two years prior to the delivery of
`
`Citi’s fairness opinion for the Proposed Transaction, and any compensation they may have
`
`received for such services rendered.
`
`35.
`
`The Proxy also fails to disclose material information concerning potential conflicts
`
`of interest by Company management, including whether any Company insiders procured positions
`
`with the surviving corporation. The Proxy likewise fails to disclose the specifics of any
`
`employment and retention-related talks and negotiations by EVO’s executive officers and Global
`
`Payments, including details concerning who participated in these discussions, what was discussed,
`
`and the dates of the communications.
`
`36.
`
`This information is necessary to provide Company stockholders a complete and
`
`accurate picture of the sales process and its fairness. Without this information, Plaintiff is not fully
`
`informed as to the Defendants’ actions, including those that may have been taken in bad faith, and
`
`cannot fairly assess the process. And without all material information, Plaintiff is unable to make
`
`a fully informed decision in connection with the Proposed Transaction and faces irreparable harm,
`
`warranting the injunctive relief sought herein.
`
`37.
`
`In addition, the Individual Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that the
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-08600 Document 1 Filed 10/10/22 Page 9 of 14
`
`Proxy omits the material information concerning the Proposed Transaction and contains the
`
`materially incomplete and misleading information discussed above.
`
`38.
`
`Specifically, the Individual Defendants undoubtedly reviewed the contents of the
`
`Proxy before it was filed with the SEC. Indeed, as directors of the Company, they were required
`
`to do so. The Individual Defendants thus knew or recklessly disregarded that the Proxy omits the
`
`material information referenced above and contains the incomplete and misleading information
`
`referenced above.
`
`39.
`
`Further, the Proxy indicates that on July 31, 2022, Citi reviewed with the Board its
`
`financial analysis of the Merger Consideration and delivered to the Board an oral opinion, which
`
`was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion of the same date, to the effect that the Merger
`
`Consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to EVO stockholders. Accordingly, the
`
`Individual Defendants undoubtedly reviewed or were presented with the material information
`
`concerning Citi’s financial analyses which has been omitted from the Proxy, and thus knew or
`
`should have known that such information has been omitted.
`
`40.
`
`Plaintiff is immediately threatened by the wrongs complained of herein, and lacks
`
`an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Plaintiff seeks injunctive and other equitable relief to
`
`prevent the irreparable injury that he will continue to suffer absent judicial intervention.
`
`CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
`
`COUNT I
`
`
`
`Against All Defendants for Violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9
`
`41.
`
`Plaintiff incorporates each and every allegation set forth above as if fully set forth
`
`herein.
`
`42.
`
`Defendants have filed the Proxy with the SEC with the intention of soliciting EVO
`
`stockholder support for the Proposed Transaction. Each of the Individual Defendants reviewed and
`9
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-08600 Document 1 Filed 10/10/22 Page 10 of 14
`
`authorized the dissemination of the Proxy, which fails to provide the material information
`
`referenced above.
`
`43.
`
`In so doing, Defendants made materially incomplete and misleading statements
`
`and/or omitted material information necessary to make the statements made not misleading. Each
`
`of the Individual Defendants, by virtue of their roles as officers and/or directors of EVO, were
`
`aware of the omitted information but failed to disclose such information, in violation of Section
`
`14(a).
`
`44.
`
`Rule 14a-9, promulgated by the SEC pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange
`
`Act, provides that such communications with stockholders shall not contain “any statement which,
`
`at the time and in the light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with
`
`respect to any material fact, or which omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make
`
`the statements therein not false or misleading.” 17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9.
`
`45.
`
`Specifically, and as detailed above, the Proxy violates Section 14(a) and Rule 14a-
`
`9 because it omits material facts concerning: (i) management’s financial projections; (ii) the value
`
`of EVO shares and the financial analyses performed by Citi in support of its fairness opinion; and
`
`(iii) potential conflicts of interest by Citi and Company insiders.
`
`46. Moreover, in the exercise of reasonable care, the Individual Defendants knew or
`
`should have known that the Proxy is materially misleading and omits material information that is
`
`necessary to render it not misleading. The Individual Defendants undoubtedly reviewed and relied
`
`upon the omitted information identified above in connection with their decision to approve and
`
`recommend the Proposed Transaction; indeed, the Proxy states that Citi reviewed and discussed
`
`its financial analyses with the Board during various meetings including on July 31, 2022, and
`
`further states that the Board considered Citi’s financial analyses and fairness opinion in connection
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-08600 Document 1 Filed 10/10/22 Page 11 of 14
`
`with approving the Proposed Transaction. The Individual Defendants knew or should have known
`
`that the material information identified above has been omitted from the Proxy, rendering the
`
`sections of the Proxy identified above to be materially incomplete and misleading.
`
`47.
`
`The misrepresentations and omissions in the Proxy are material to Plaintiff, who
`
`will be deprived of his right to cast an informed vote if such misrepresentations and omissions are
`
`not corrected prior to the vote on the Proposed Transaction. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at
`
`law. Only through the exercise of this Court’s equitable powers can Plaintiff be fully protected
`
`from the immediate and irreparable injury that Defendants’ actions threaten to inflict.
`
`COUNT II
`
`Against the Individual Defendants for Violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act
`
`Plaintiff incorporates each and every allegation set forth above as if fully set forth
`
`48.
`
`herein.
`
`49.
`
`The Individual Defendants acted as controlling persons of EVO within the meaning
`
`of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act as alleged herein. By virtue of their positions as officers
`
`and/or directors of EVO and participation in and/or awareness of the Company’s operations and/or
`
`intimate knowledge of the incomplete and misleading statements contained in the Proxy filed with
`
`the SEC, they had the power to influence and control and did influence and control, directly or
`
`indirectly, the decision making of the Company, including the content and dissemination of the
`
`various statements that Plaintiff contends are materially incomplete and misleading.
`
`50.
`
`Each of the Individual Defendants was provided with or had unlimited access to
`
`copies of the Proxy and other statements alleged by Plaintiff to be misleading prior to the time the
`
`Proxy was filed with the SEC and had the ability to prevent the issuance of the statements or cause
`
`the statements to be corrected.
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-08600 Document 1 Filed 10/10/22 Page 12 of 14
`
`51.
`
`In particular, each of the Individual Defendants had direct and supervisory
`
`involvement in the day-to-day operations of the Company, and, therefore, is presumed to have had
`
`the power to control or influence the particular transactions giving rise to the Exchange Act
`
`violations alleged herein, and exercised the same. The omitted information identified above was
`
`reviewed by the Board prior to voting on the Proposed Transaction. The Proxy at issue contains
`
`the unanimous recommendation of each of the Individual Defendants to approve the Proposed
`
`Transaction. They were, thus, directly involved in the making of the Proxy.
`
`52.
`
`In addition, as the Proxy sets forth at length, and as described herein, the Individual
`
`Defendants were involved in negotiating, reviewing, and approving the Merger Agreement. The
`
`Proxy purports to describe the various issues and information that the Individual Defendants
`
`reviewed and considered. The Individual Defendants participated in drafting and/or gave their
`
`input on the content of those descriptions.
`
`53.
`
`By virtue of the foregoing, the Individual Defendants have violated Section 20(a)
`
`of the Exchange Act.
`
`54.
`
`As set forth above, the Individual Defendants had the ability to exercise control
`
`over and did control a person or persons who have each violated Section 14(a) and Rule 14a-9, by
`
`their acts and omissions as alleged herein. By virtue of their positions as controlling persons, these
`
`Defendants are liable pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. As a direct and proximate
`
`result of Individual Defendants’ conduct, Plaintiff will be irreparably harmed.
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands injunctive relief in his favor and against the Defendants
`
`jointly and severally, as follows:
`
`A.
`
`Preliminarily and permanently enjoining Defendants and their counsel, agents,
`
`employees and all persons acting under, in concert with, or for them, from filing an amendment to
`12
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-08600 Document 1 Filed 10/10/22 Page 13 of 14
`
`the Proxy with the SEC or otherwise disseminating an amendment to the Proxy to EVO
`
`stockholders unless and until Defendants agree to include the material information identified above
`
`in any such amendment;
`
`B.
`
`Preliminarily and permanently enjoining Defendants and their counsel, agents,
`
`employees and all persons acting under, in concert with, or for them, from proceeding with,
`
`consummating, or closing the Proposed Transaction, unless and until Defendants disclose the
`
`material information identified above which has been omitted from the Proxy;
`
`C.
`
`In the event that the transaction is consummated prior to the entry of this Court’s
`
`final judgment, rescinding it or awarding Plaintiff rescissory damages;
`
`D.
`
`Directing the Defendants to account to Plaintiff for all damages suffered as a result
`
`of their wrongdoing;
`
`E.
`
`Awarding Plaintiff the costs and disbursements of this action, including reasonable
`
`attorneys’ and expert fees and expenses; and
`
`F.
`
`Granting such other and further equitable relief as this Court may deem just and
`
`proper.
`
`JURY DEMAND
`
`Plaintiff demands a trial by jury.
