LONDON - Volex PLC, the global provider of cable assembly solutions, has officially announced today that it will not pursue an acquisition of TT Electronics. This decision follows a previous announcement on November 15, 2024, in which Volex had expressed interest in the potential takeover.
The Executive Chairman of Volex, Lord Rothschild, stated that the company upholds a strict discipline regarding capital allocation. Despite prior considerations, Volex has determined that the valuation acceptable to TT Electronics' Board does not align with their own assessment. Consequently, Volex will not extend an offer to acquire TT Electronics.
Lord Rothschild reaffirmed Volex's commitment to achieving its full-year financial expectations and to continuing the execution of its five-year strategic plan. The announcement clarifies that Volex's decision is in accordance with Rule 2.8 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
Volex has reserved the right to revisit its position under certain conditions as outlined by the Code. These conditions include obtaining consent from the board of TT Electronics, a third party announcing a definitive intention to bid for TT Electronics, a proposal from TT Electronics that could lead to a waiver under Rule 9, or a reverse takeover, or if there is a significant change in circumstances as determined by the Takeover Panel.
The information in this report is based on a press release statement from Volex PLC, which provides a clear view of the company's current stance on the matter without endorsing any claims or future intentions.
