Due to a significant jump in its cost of sales, Zip reported a 23% decline in gross profit to $59.1 million and a loss after tax of $214.3 million.Zip share price haltedGiven that Zip’s results have been pre-released, the main focus for investors is likely to be the Zip share price being a trading halt.This morning the company requested a halt so it could undertake a $198.7 million capital raising. This comprises a fully underwritten institutional placement to raise $148.7 million and a $50 million share purchase plan.Zip is raising the funds at $1.90 per share, which represents a 14% discount to the Zip share price at the close of play on Friday.Why is it raising funds?Zip has launched its capital raising after announcing an agreement to acquire rival BNPL provider Sezzle Inc(ASX: SZL).And while the funds won’t be used to acquire Sezzle, management intends to use the additional capital to support its growth and execute on the potential synergies from the transaction.Sezzle acquisitionZip has signed an agreement to acquire Sezzle for a consideration of 0.98 Zip shares for every share Sezzle share.Based on the current Zip share price of $2.21, this implies a price of $2.1658 per Sezzle share, which represents a premium of almost 22%. It also values Sezzle at approximately $491 million.Zip’s Co-Founder and Global CEO, Larry Diamond, commented: “We are delighted to be bringing Zip and Sezzle together under a transformational transaction that is expected to deliver immediate scale and enhanced growth, which will support our path to profitability. Combining with Sezzle positions us as a leading global BNPL provider and prioritizes our ability to win in the important U.S. market,”“Pete and I have known Charlie [Youakim] and Paul [Paradis] (cofounders of Sezzle) for some time, and we’ve been impressed by what the Sezzle team has achieved. Their responsible lending, their Sezzle Up credit builder program, as well as their B Corp certification is to be admired. We’re excited to welcome the entire Sezzle team on our journey, as we continue our mission towards being the first payment choice, everywhere and every day,” he added.Subject to approvals, Zip expects the transaction to complete by the end of the third quarter of calendar year 2022.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":636566846,"gmtCreate":1646015435434,"gmtModify":1646015435727,"author":{"id":"3570549774646276","authorId":"3570549774646276","authorIdStr":"3570549774646276","name":"Andr3","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c41ca7aea5e2b5f410896f8cdc5a940c","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"L","listText":"L","text":"L","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/636566846","repostId":1199380932,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":7267076,"gmtCreate":1646015439166,"gmtModify":1646015439200,"authorId":3570549774646276,"author":{"id":3570549774646276,"authorId":3570549774646276,"name":"Andr3","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c41ca7aea5e2b5f410896f8cdc5a940c","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":636566846,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"c","text":"c","html":"c"}],"langContent":"CN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":false,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.26.2","shortVersion":"4.26.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"laohu8","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1199380932"}
