Greensill Capital’s U.S. unit has agreed to sell its Finacity Corp. business to the head of the division for $24 million unless a higher bid comes in at a proposed bankruptcy auction.

Under the tentative deal, which must be approved by a judge, the U.S. unit would sell Finacity to its current president, Adrian Katz. In 2019, Katz and his family owned about 20% of Finacity when Greensill bought it, according to court papers filed Monday.
