Goldleaf merger vote

Goldleaf Financial Solutions has set its special shareholders meeting for Sept. 29, here in Nashville, in an attempt to gain approval for its management-proposed merger of Goldleaf with Jack Henry & Associates and an acquisition entity. Today's SEC filing is here.

Goldleaf on the block

Goldleaf Financial Solutions, the erstwhile Brentwood company that has long since been based out of the Atlanta area, with a steadily dwindling tech staff remaining in Brentwood, is now being sold to Jack Henry & Associates (NASDAQ:JKHY), of Monett, Mo. Many here will remember GFSI CEO Lynn Boggs. The Tennessean says the deal nets-out to about $19MM for GFSI, tho the JH&A release speaks of retiring debt and other benefits.
