what happened

Global Payments shares fell sharply, losing 12%, after a Reuters report on Thursday. Citing people familiar with the matter, the agency said private equity firms Clayton Dubilier & Rice and GTCR had abandoned their interest in buying the company.

According to the sources, the firms had explored a deal over several weeks before walking away from discussions. The information was passed on by Seeking Alpha, which flagged the story as still developing.

why it matters

The development matters for the market because a possible deal is falling out of investor expectations. Shares are reacting to lower odds of a takeover that had until now potentially supported the price.
