"We could not be more excited about this transaction," said Jay Starkman, CEO of Engage PEO. "Engage and SynchronyHR share the same customer-focused service philosophy and go-to-market strategy centered on partnering with insurance brokers. This acquisition is an exceptional opportunity for Engage to expand into new markets and add a hub in the heart of the Midwest. I am particularly excited to work again with Kyle Kelly, SynchronyHR's CEO. Kyle is a long-time colleague, friend and a successful PEO and insurance industry executive. His leadership expertise, PEO savvy and knowledge of the region will be invaluable to Engage as we continue to grow together."

Kelly will remain with Engage as a Senior Vice President focused on driving further growth in the Midwest, where Synchrony has achieved strong success.

"Synchrony's mission has always been to empower businesses to become better employers," Kelly said. "Engage's remarkable success and sterling reputation for delivering best-in-class service means the service level to our clients will only be enhanced by the added resources the combined companies bring to the table. Both companies align operationally and culturally, which benefits our internal employees and will help drive a seamless transition for all. Like Engage, we also deeply value the relationship that insurance brokers and their clients share. I am looking forward to joining Jay and the Engage team, which includes many former colleagues, and helping to form new partnerships and long-term relationships with agencies and companies across the Midwest."

Jones Day acted as legal advisor to Engage PEO in connection with the acquisition. Akerman acted as legal advisor to SynchronyHR.
