LOS ANGELES: Gallant Capital Partners (“Gallant”) announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Government Services business (“NGS” or the “Company”) of Navient Corporation (Nasdaq: NAVI).

NGS provides tech-enabled outsourced business processing to U.S. federal, state, and local government clients. NGS is a leader in the tolling and parking technology and services market and provides other mission-critical services to government agencies including call center support, revenue recovery services, program management, and payment processing.

“NGS is a leader in the government services industry with a proven track record of technology-driven innovation and growth. We look forward to supporting the NGS management team and to a future of continued growth as a standalone business,” said Anthony Guagliano, Partner at Gallant. “This acquisition represents Gallant’s second corporate carveout in the past year and we are pleased Navient chose Gallant on the transaction. We are confident that under our ownership and in partnership with the NGS team, the standalone NGS business will thrive,” added Jon Gimbel, Partner at Gallant.

The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to certain conditions. The acquisition of NGS would represent the third platform investment made from Gallant’s second fund, Gallant Capital Partners II.
