In March, Berwyn, Pennsylvania–based Privet announced its intentions to buy up all shares of Hardinge. The fund already owned a portion of Hardinge and said it would pay $18.50 cash for each remaining share.
On Monday, Privet announced in a press release that the purchase was complete for a total transaction value of about $245 million. It also said that Hardinge headquarters would immediately move from Elmira to Berwyn, outside Philadelphia.
