基于英国工程公司的创始人和两个最大的股东雷尼沙宣布他们打算出售公司的股份。
雷尼沙（Renishaw）的八十岁老板戴维·麦克默里（David McMurtry）爵士和约翰·迪尔（John Deer）向董事会表示，他们将共同出售的53％的股份出售。因此，董事会已进入正式销售过程，瑞银为未来的交易提供建议，并指出，它正在寻求“尊重业务独特的遗产和文化”的买家。
Following the announcement, Renishaw’s shares jumped by 18% to £68.85, valuing the company at around £4.8 billion and the shares of McMurty and Deer at £2.5 billion. In an accompanying statement, the billionaire pair emphasized that they are stepping down in order to ensure the firm’s continued long-term prosperity.
麦克默蒂（McMurty）和迪尔（McMurty and Deer）说：“现在发现自己在80年代，我们的思想越来越多地转向了我们如何积极地为确保业务的未来成功做出贡献。”“考虑到这一点，我们与董事会的其他成员联系，表明我们认为现在是时候讨论实现这一目标的最佳方法了。”
雷尼肖的“独特遗产”
McMurty和Deer在工作时见面Rolls Roycebefore founding Renishaw in 1973, and it has since grown into one of the world’s leading engineering and scientific technology firms. The company is also an established 3D printer manufacturer, and its technologies permeate other areas of its business as well, including its healthcare and software offerings.
例如，该公司启动了其最新版本的固定设备3D modelling program last year, which enables users to digitally design metrology fixturing assemblies. On the healthcare front, Renishaw has also made significant advances, partnering withHerantis Pharmato3D打印药物输送设备for treating Parkinson’s disease.
该公司的最新财务状况反映了其最近的进步，因为它报告了pre-tax profit of £43.4 millionin its H1 2021 financials, despite seeing its annual revenue decline by 2%. As a result, Renishaw represents a potentially lucrative cost-efficient acquisition to prospective buyers, and given that its shares have more than doubled over the last year, now could be an ideal time for its owners to sell.
Recently, Renishaw alsointroduced a raft of new measuresthat are designed to insulate its EU business from the impact of Brexit. The changes expanded the company’s presence in Ireland in anticipation of red-tape-related disruption, and the combined impact of Brexit and COVID-19, provide two more potential reasons for the imminent departure of its long-term owners.
潜在接管条款
Now that Renishaw’s founders have expressed their desire to dispose of their entire shareholding, its board has been left with no choice but to launch an investigation into the company’s sale. Within the formal process, UBS will act as a negotiator on Renishaw’s behalf, and interested parties will need to go via the bank to open any discussions.
To ensure that the potential sale runs smoothly, the company has also appointed a Takeover Panel, that will represent the views of its shareholders during proceedings. The Panel has already made it clear that interested parties are required to enter NDAs prior to negotiations, and that it reserves the right to terminate the sale process at any time.
尽管Renishaw目前尚未进行积极的接管谈判，但其董事会表示，它正在寻求一个能够“使公司能够长期继续繁荣的买家”。雷尼沙（Renishaw）高级独立非执行董事戴维·格兰特（David Grant）表示，该公司的目标是继续现状，并保持其“创新，成功和价值创造的长期记录”。
格兰特说：“按照大卫和约翰想出售其股票的迹象，董事会一致得出结论认为，调查公司出售是适当的。”“董事会打算寻求一个买家，他将认识到雷尼沙的价值为创新的业务，并尊重其独特的遗产。”
2021年财务活动的繁荣
Since the turn of the year, the industry has seen a flurry of financial activity, with a number of 3D printing’s biggest firms announcing major business moves.
就在上个月，金属3D打印机制造商Markforged宣布它的意图公开以21亿美元的业务公开。该交易将使该公司于2021年夏季在纽约证券交易所的“ MKFG”下被上市，为其提供了高达4.25亿美元的收益，以资助其增长战略。
On the aerospace front,Rocket Labhas agreed to merge with blank check company向量获取公司， 和以41亿美元的价格公开公开。Rocket Lab stands to raise around $750 million from the agreement, which it intends to deploy as a means of expanding its orbital data delivery services.
Elsewhere,Stratasys跟进了它的去年收购原产地与购买3D打印机制造商RPS。Although the exact financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, it essentially bolsters Stratasys’ lineup by allowing it to marketRPS’entire line ofNeo SLA systems。
