Eltek ASA: Eltek to evaluate strategic options
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Drammen, 31 October 2014: The Board of Directors of Eltek ASA ("Eltek") is
currently evaluating strategic options for the future development of Eltek,
including a potential sale of the company.
The strategic review is intended to further enhance Eltek's competitive position
and to maximise shareholder value. Eltek has been in contact with certain
parties with respect to this process.
Over recent years, Eltek has successfully completed a strategic realignment,
including a series of divestments of non-core, under-performing businesses,
reverting to Eltek's historical core business activities in power electronics
and has significantly enhanced the financial profile of the company.
With its longstanding technological expertise, strong customer base, and
attractive geographical footprint, Eltek is now set to further develop its
strong market position in a growing but still fragmented market. Eltek's strong
business outlook is supported by its growing industrial segment as well as its
entry into new, high-growth areas such as datacenters.
It is the Board of Directors' opinion that Eltek is now well positioned to enter
a new phase of value creation.
The Board of Directors of Eltek has retained Citigroup Global Markets and Arctic
Securities as financial advisors in connection with the strategic review.
