GCA acquired all of CGS’ issued shares of stock for a purchase price of $25 million. CGS is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCA. As part of the acquisition, GCA will replace all of the cash that was held in CGS’ ATM machines and booths at its customer locations.

Said GCA Chief Executive Officer Scott H. Betts, “We’re very pleased to have closed the acquisition and are very excited about the opportunity to provide CGS’ customers with the products, support and dedication for which GCA is known. The addition of CGS to GCA will help us maintain the scale necessary to advance our product innovation work and support our customer service commitment. We believe the acquisition will also provide the growth and cross-selling potential that our shareholders expect. The payments market is highly competitive, and maintaining scale is important for GCA.”
