A blank-check acquisition firm backed by veteran investor Bill Foley is nearing a deal to merge with Paysafe, valuing the U.S. payments company at around $9 billion, including debt, people familiar with the matter said on Sunday.

Part of the financing for the deal will come in the form of a so-called private investment in public equity worth $2 billion, which would make it one of the largest such instruments ever raised, according to the sources. The SPAC model has become an increasingly popular route to the public markets this year over a traditional IPO, including for other payments firms such as Paya and Billtrust.
