US-based payments company Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) and US data network Plaid have terminated a merger agreement and agreed with the Department of Justice to dismiss the litigation related to the proposed transaction, the companies said.
The proposed transaction was first announced on January 13, 2020.
Under the original deal, Visa agreed to acquire Plaid for USD 5.3bn.
