Notwithstanding strong historical and projected revenue and earnings growth, downward pressure on Axsys' publicly traded stock in recent months has led to an increasing number of overtures from interested strategic buyers. In order to evaluate the level of interest in a structured manner, management has engaged the investment banking firm, Jefferies & Company, Inc., to conduct a formal process.
The company's enviable balance sheet, growth prospects, and market presence, which make Axsys an attractive acquisition candidate, also position Axsys as an effective stand-alone company. As a consequence, while Axsys' board of directors feels that it is appropriate to evaluate offers for the company, it is under no obligation to accept an offer that it does not believe is in the best interest of its shareholders. There can be no assurance made that a transaction will be consummated, if at all, on terms acceptable to Axsys and its shareholders.
