On April 15, Vintage Capital, which already owns just over one-eighth of Anaren’s shares, sent the DeWitt–based high-tech manufacturer a letter offering to buy all its shares for $23 in cash per share. The offer valued Anaren at more than $300 million.
Anaren says its independent committee and its advisers will continue reviewing alternatives to determine the course of action that it believes would be in the best interests of Anaren’s stockholders, including the possible sale of the company.
Anaren employs about 800 people. The firm develops and manufactures components and subsystems for markets including satellite communications, defense, and wireless communications.
