Sage to fight Archer claim
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sage has pledged to vigorously defend itself against a A$130m (£93m) claim from Archer Capital after the British software firm walked away from the potential acquisition of its Australian peer MYOB in August. Sage had entered into exclusive talks to buy MYOB from buyout groups Archer Capital and HarbourVest Partners, but the deal was derailed by market turmoil. MYOB, short for "Mind Your Own Business", was eventually sold to Bain Capital for $1.3bn (£815m), $100m less than Sage had offered.
