Plenary Americas Completes $1.2 Billion Acquisition of ISC

Key Facts

In a move reflecting sustained private equity interest in the information services sector, Information Services Corporation (ISC) has announced the completion of its acquisition by Plenary Americas. The transaction was executed via a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act of Saskatchewan, effectively taking the company private. Under the terms, ISC Class A shareholders will receive CAD$51.00 per share in cash, valuing the company at an approximate implied enterprise value of $1.2 billion.

This acquisition occurs amidst a period of significant activity in the Canadian infrastructure and public services sector, where Plenary Americas is a dominant institutional investor. Compared to recent peer transactions in the registry and data services space, the CAD$51.00 per share price provides a definitive exit and immediate liquidity for shareholders. Per market data, the $1.2 billion valuation underscores the stable cash flow profile of ISC’s core registry management operations.

Looking ahead, ISC shares are expected to be delisted from public exchanges following the deal's closure. On the broader economic front, Canada's Monthly GDP data released on June 30, 2026, showed a modest growth of 0.1%, matching market forecasts. Investors should monitor any subsequent regulatory filings regarding the long-term service agreements ISC maintains with the Province of Saskatchewan under its new ownership structure.
