Punch and Associates Sends Letter to Board of Directors of Avid Bioservices, Inc On November 14, 2024, Punch & Associates Investment Management, Inc. announced its intention to vote AGAINST the proposed acquisition of Avid Bioservices, Inc. by GHO Capital and Ampersand Capital. Punch & Associates believes the $12.50 per share offer materially undervalues Avid and is opportunistically timed to capitalize on low valuations, ignoring key assets such as idle production capacity, medium-term earnings potential, and net operating losses. Punch & Associates emphasized that if the bid is not significantly raised to reflect the true value of the company, it is willing to remain a public shareholder. Punch & Associates criticized the Board's recommendation of a sale at a minimal premium, especially as Avid’s financial performance improves following years of challenges, including a significant capacity expansion, industry downturn, and balance sheet mismanagement. Punch & Associates called the proposal illogical and reiterated its plan to vote against it. Duyuru • Nov 08
