Volex Announces Possible Offer for TT Electronics Volex plc (AIM:VLX) announced that it has submitted two proposals to the Board of TT Electronics plc (LSE:TTG) regarding a possible cash and shares offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of TT Electronics. The first proposal comprised 62.9 pence in cash and 0.203 new Volex shares per TT Electronics share which implied, at the time of the first proposal, a price of 129.0 pence per TT Electronics share, and the second proposal comprised 62.9 pence in cash and 0.223 new Volex shares per TT Electronics share which implied, at the time of the second proposal, a price of 135.5 pence per TT Electronics share (together, the "Volex Proposals"). The Board of TT Electronics has declined to engage with Volex and rejected each of the Volex Proposals. Based on the price of Volex shares as at the close of business on 14 November 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the date of this announcement), Volex's latest proposal, consisting of 62.9 pence in cash and 0.223 new Volex shares per TT Electronics share (the "Second Proposal"), now implies a value of 139.6 pence per TT Electronics share, values the fully diluted share capital of TT Electronics at £248.6m and implies a premium of: 76.7% to TT Electronics closing price of 79.0 pence as at the close of business on 14 November 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the commencement of the offer period on 15 November 2024); and 73.2% to the one month volume weighted average price for TT Electronics shares as at the close of business on 14 November 2024. The Board of Volex therefore firmly believes that the terms of the Second Proposal offer a highly attractive opportunity for TT Electronics shareholders to realise both an immediate partial cash exit following the ongoing operational and end market challenges faced by TT Electronics and the opportunity to share meaningfully in the upside of a highly attractive enlarged business. If any offer were made on the basis of the Second Proposal, Volex expects it would offer a mix-and-match facility to provide TT Electronics shareholders with flexibility. Lord Rothschild, Executive Chairman of Volex, commented: "We believe that bringing Volex and TT Electronics together in a highly synergistic transaction would create a scaled and diversified leader in the specialist electronics market which would act as a platform for future organic and inorganic growth and significant value creation. TT Electronics would provide the Group with further exposure to structural growth markets, such as medical and industrial technology, and add a new end-market, aerospace and defence, to progress Volex's successful strategy of diversification. At the same time, TT Electronics would benefit from being part of a larger group with stronger performance and the associated opportunities for revenue and cost synergies to deliver higher profitability. Despite the resilience of TT Electronics' underlying business, it has faced persistent challenges in recent years, which Volex believes have been exacerbated by execution missteps by the Board, including former and current executive leadership. As a result TT Electronics' shares are trading at a 10 year low. Since the disposal of the former Transportation Sensing and Control division in 2017 for c.£119 million, TT Electronics has spent approximately the same amount on acquisitions (for which the purchase prices have been disclosed), paying elevated multiples in an effort to develop a higher quality business. Instead, TT Electronics has delivered a series of inconsistent annual results with adjusted operating profit only improving 60 bps since 2019 to 8.6% for the financial year ended 31 December 2023, well below the 10%+ margin target set by TT Electronics management in 2019. This is before factoring in restructuring charges, which amounted to a total of £43.9m over the same period. In comparison, Volex's adjusted operating margin increased by 170 bps to 9.8% from 2020 to 2024 (financial year ending 31 March), achieving and sustaining the higher end of management's guidance for 9-10% margin. Volex's only restructuring charge during this period was £0.8 million recognised in 2022. TT Electronics' acquisition strategy has also resulted in very disappointing outcomes. In early 2024, TT Electronics disposed of three sites with a write-down of £32.5 million, including the company's activities at Hartlepool and Dongguan, which it had acquired through its takeover of Stadium plc in 2018. Furthermore, TT Electronics now has operational issues at two North American sites serving aerospace and defence, a market that TT Electronics has targeted through its acquisitions of Torotel and Covina in the US.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 14% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Ankündigung • Jul 29
