    SigmaTron (SGMA) Stock Jumps After Announcing Merger Deal

    Following the announcement of a final merger agreement with Transom Capital Group, LLC, the stock price of SigmaTron International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGMA) had a notable spike, rising 130.23% to $2.97.

    Unveiling a Strategic Acquisition Agreement

    SigmaTron will be acquired by an affiliate of Transom, a private equity firm with operating experience in the middle market, for around $83 million. Transom will launch a tender offer to buy all outstanding shares of SigmaTron’s common stock for $3.02 per share in cash in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

    This offer reflects a significant premium of over 136% above the 30-day volume-weighted average price and 134% above the closing price of the SGMA on May 20, 2025. Transom’s faith in the company’s operating capabilities and long-term worth is demonstrated by the offer.

    Growth and Integration Vision

    Transom Capital has a track record of value development, strong client connections, and decades of experience in electronic manufacturing. In order to build on SigmaTron’s current capabilities and strategically position the company for long-term development and innovation, the firm plans to work closely with the company’s leadership. It is anticipated that the alliance would increase market prospects and operational efficiency.

    Subsequent Actions and Shareholder Suggestions

    If the majority of SigmaTron’s shares are successfully put up for tender and the usual closing requirements are met, the deal is expected to conclude in the third quarter of 2025. Following completion, SigmaTron’s shares will be delisted from the Nasdaq exchange and it will become a fully owned subsidiary of Transom. At the same price as the tender, any remaining unsold shares will be purchased through a second-step merger.

    The deal has received unanimous approval from the SigmaTron Board of Directors, which strongly advises shareholders to tender their shares in the upcoming offer. With this purchase, SGMA enters a critical phase and joins a strategic partner ready to propel its next stage of expansion.
