OEP to Make Public Offer for Cicor Shares
November 29, 2024 | CicorEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Cicor Group announced that its major shareholder, OEP 80 B.V. (OEP), has converted its Mandatory Convertible Notes (MCN). As a result, OEP now holds 41.01% of Cicor's shares, triggering a mandatory public takeover offer to all other Cicor shareholders within two months.
OEP intends to make the mandatory offer at or close to the minimum price, which is currently set at CHF 54.35 per share. This minimum price is based on the 60-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) prior to the mandatory offer announcement. The final offer price will be determined on the publication date of the mandatory offer and is expected to change.
Cicor's Board of Directors will review the mandatory offer and is currently inclined to recommend rejecting it. However, the final decision and reporting on this remain reserved.

Thinking Out of the Box: Pacific Northwest EMS Manufacturer Employs Successful Strategies With IPC
10/15/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityAllison and Chad Budvarson started Out of the Box Manufacturing, an EMS company in Renton, Washington, just one month after they were married in 2008. To stay competitive, they’ve utilized IPC’s workforce subscription and apprenticeship programs to train and maintain their staff. "Our relationship with IPC has evolved over the past several years," Allison says. "Initially, we saw IPC for its standards. But when I started attending the EMS Leadership Summit at APEX EXPO, I realized there was so much more to IPC, which opened more doors for us, creating growth and partnership opportunities I didn't realize were possible. For one, I like having frank conversations with EMS owners from other areas of the country, and I’m not worried they will steal my 'secret sauce.'"
