Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. - K1 Investment Management announced Monday that its portfolio company Subsplash has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Roper Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROP), a member of the S&P 500.
The transaction is expected to close in the near term, according to a press release statement from K1. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Roper has maintained dividend payments for 34 consecutive years and has raised its dividend for 11 consecutive years, demonstrating consistent financial strength.
Subsplash, co-founded in Seattle by CEO Tim Turner, provides an AI-powered engagement platform for faith-based organizations. The company’s suite of tools includes mobile apps, media delivery, digital giving, and church management systems that serve over 20,000 organizations worldwide.
Since K1’s initial investment in 2019, Subsplash has expanded its product capabilities and grown its annual recurring revenue approximately sevenfold from the fiscal year prior to investment.
"We’re thrilled to join Roper, whose commitment to long-term platform growth and innovation aligns perfectly with our vision," said Tim Turner, CEO of Subsplash.
This marks K1’s fifth exit to a strategic buyer and third to a publicly traded company in the past year. Other recent K1 exits include Irwin (sold to FactSet), GoCanvas (sold to Nemetschek Group), and Axcient (sold to ConnectWise).
No investment bankers were involved in the transaction, which was sourced directly by K1’s in-house business development team.
