Pagaya Technologies LTD. (NASDAQ: PGY) ("Pagaya" or “the
Company”), a global technology company delivering AI-driven product
solutions for the financial ecosystem, today announced that it has
agreed to purchase 100% of Theorem Technology, Inc. (“Theorem”).
Theorem has powered billions of dollars of credit investments
across its network since its founding in 2014 with stable,
long-term capital, utilizing its proprietary technology.
The combination brings Theorem’s consumer credit funds as well
as its engineering and data science expertise under the Pagaya
umbrella. This strategic transaction solidifies Pagaya’s overall
mission to serve its partners, their customers and investors by
expanding access to credit across the lending ecosystem.
In aggregate, Pagaya’s fund management business is expected to
grow to more than $3 billion of capital in investment vehicles
separate from and incremental to the Company’s market-leading
securitization program, in line with the Company’s financial
strategy to diversify its funding sources and enhance its capital
efficiency. In addition to its existing investment opportunities,
investors in Theorem’s credit funds will now have access to credit
assets generated by Pagaya’s network of 30 of the top lenders in
the US, including over $180 billion of application volume per
quarter.
“We are very excited about Theorem and its amazing employees
becoming a part of Pagaya,” said Pagaya’s CEO, Gal Krubiner. “I
have known the team for several years. As we have seen network
volume and institutional investor demand grow exponentially, I
believe that their institutional fund management expertise will
sharpen Pagaya’s already market-leading capabilities. In addition,
Theorem will have access to the Pagaya network’s unique investment
sourcing flow, and Pagaya will be able to fully take advantage of
the impressive machine learning investment technology that
underlies Theorem’s private credit investment platform.”
“Theorem is continually focused on evolving its portfolio
management capabilities and increasing the size of its investing
opportunity set; Pagaya is the ideal partner for Theorem to take
our institutional fund business to the next level,” said Hugh
Edmundson, Theorem’s Founder and Chief Investment Officer. “We
think the opportunity for our limited partners, employees, and
stockholders through the combination of each company’s technology
platform is unique and will drive enhanced performance for many
years to come.”
