Itiviti has offices in 16 countries and serves 24 of the top 25 global investment banks. Itiviti generated recurring revenues of approximately 210 million euros in calendar year 2020.

Further, Itiviti's strong presence in APAC and EMEA will significantly expand Broadridge's revenues outside of North America and enhance Broadridge's international footprint in key markets.

Broadridge is financing the acquisition through a new $2.55 billion term credit agreement.
