Paychex (PAYX, $68.41) Wants To Buy Oasis Outsourcing for $1.2 Billion
Paychex Inc. announced Monday that it plans to acquire privately held firm Oasis Outsourcing Acquisition Corp. for $1.2 billion.

Paychex expects the transaction to potentially create "a number of revenue and cost synergies”.
Paychex might finance the acquisition through a combination of cash and existing credit facilities or new debt. According to the company, the deal should have minimal impact on its FY 2019’s earnings per share excluding transaction costs.
