Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 11, 2025, TE Connectivity plc (“TE Connectivity”) entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with (i) TE Connectivity Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TE Connectivity (“Buyer”), (ii) Stella I LLC , a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), (iii) OCM Power V AIV Holdings (Delaware), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Blocker V Seller”), (iv) OCM Power VI AIV Holdings (Delaware), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Blocker VI Seller” and together with Blocker V Seller, the ”Blocker Sellers”), (v) OCM Power V Relay CTB, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Blocker V”), (vi) OCM Power VI Relay CTB, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Blocker VI” and together with Blocker V, the “Blockers”), (vii) Relay Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Relay”) and (viii) OCM Power VI AIV Holdings (Delaware), L.P., in its capacity as representative of Sellers (the “Sellers Representative”), pursuant to which a subsidiary of TE Connectivity will acquire the Richards Manufacturing business. TE Connectivity is party to the Transaction Agreement solely in its capacity as guarantor of certain of Buyer’s obligations under the Transaction Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, among other things, (i) the Blocker Sellers will sell to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from Blocker Sellers, all of the membership interests of each of the Blockers (the “Blocker Sale”) and (ii) thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into Relay (the “Merger” and together with the Blocker Sale, the “Transaction”), with Relay being the surviving company (“Surviving Corporation”). After the consummation of the Transaction, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of TE Connectivity. The aggregate consideration for the Transaction is approximately $2.3 billion and is expected to be funded by a combination of cash on hand and borrowings pursuant to debt financing to be obtained prior to the closing of the Transaction.

 

The Transaction Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of the parties. The parties have also agreed to various covenants in the Transaction Agreement, including agreements by Relay to conduct its operations in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

 

The closing of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), as amended, (ii) the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties (subject to specified materiality standards), (iii) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to Relay and (iv) the absence of any injunction, order or law issued or enforced by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.

 

The Transaction Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for Buyer and Relay, including that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement, Buyer or Relay may terminate the Transaction Agreement if the Transaction is not consummated on or before June 11, 2025, which period would be extended automatically until December 11, 2025 if the closing of the Transaction would have occurred other than as a result of a failure to obtain approval of the Transaction pursuant to the HSR Act at such time.

 

The closing of the Transaction is expected to be consummated during the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2025, subject to receipt of regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.

 

The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with TE Connectivity’s next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2025.

TE Connectivity to acquire Richards Manufacturing to expand position
in fast-growing energy market

 

GALWAY, Ireland, Feb. 12, 2025 -- TE Connectivity plc (NYSE: TEL), a world leader in connectors and sensors, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Richards Manufacturing Co. from funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and members of the Bier family, long-standing owners and leaders of the business. The transaction will strengthen TE’s position in serving electrical utilities in North America by combining complementary product portfolios and adding the expertise of the Richards team, enabling TE to benefit from strong growth trends in underground electrical networks.

 

Richards is widely recognized as a best-in-class provider of utility grid products and, over the last several years, has experienced double-digit revenue growth. The company, headquartered in Irvington, N.J., is a leader in underground distribution equipment, with differentiated positions in both medium voltage cold-shrink cable accessories and network protector products. The Richards management team is committed to TE and will continue to lead the business post-closing.

 

"One of the key pillars of our strategy is investing in long-term secular growth trends that further our commitments to being a trusted partner to customers around the world and creating value for our owners,” said TE Connectivity CEO Terrence Curtin. “We have been strategically investing in our Energy business over the past several years to be a growth driver for TE. We’ve benefited from our focus on utility scale renewables and grid reliability by providing our customers with innovative products required for the ongoing evolution of the energy grid.

 

“The acquisition of Richards Manufacturing aligns with our strategy and positions us to further capitalize on an accelerating grid replacement and upgrade cycle in North America, driven by aging infrastructure, the increased hardening of the network and the upgrades that are required to support the increase in energy demand. We look forward to building on the momentum of Richards’ growth trajectory and welcoming their talented team to TE.”

 

Joe Bier, CEO of Richards Manufacturing, said, "We are thankful for the partnership, strategic support and resources that Oaktree brought to our firm. Together, we have made significant investments in our facility, products, and team to serve our customers. We are thrilled for the next stage of our business as part of TE Connectivity. We have been working in the utilities market for nearly 80 years supporting the design, protection and life of critical infrastructure. We believe TE is a great home for the business our family has built and are excited for a bright future ahead for Richards in TE.”

 

Ulysses Fowler, Managing Director of Oaktree’s Power Opportunities Group said, “Oaktree is proud to have supported Richards through a transformative phase of development. We thank Joe, the Bier family, the entire management team, and all of Richards’ employees for their dedication to developing and delivering an innovative and high-quality product portfolio while maintaining a total commitment to quality, responsiveness, and customer service. All of us at Oaktree wish the team at Richards continued success as part of TE.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Financial Highlights:

 

The all-cash transaction is valued at approximately $2.3 billion, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction will be financed through cash and additional debt.

 

TE expects mid-teens return on invested capital upon completion of tax, revenue and cost synergies. Upon completion of the transaction, the acquired business will be reported as part of TE’s Industrial Solutions segment and is expected to contribute annual sales of approximately $400 million and EBITDA margins in the mid-30 percent range. This acquisition is expected to be accretive to TE’s sales growth and adjusted operating margins. TE expects approximately $0.10 accretion to its adjusted EPS in the first full year, including financing costs and excluding acquisition and amortization related expenses.

 

The transaction is subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in TE’s fiscal third quarter, ending June 2025.

 

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as TE’s financial advisor and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is acting as TE’s legal counsel. Lincoln International is serving as financial advisor, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP as legal counsel, to Richards and Oaktree.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital are non-GAAP measures. We present non-GAAP measures as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider adjusted financial measures in addition to results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information and should not be considered replacements for results in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and in its decision-making processes related to the operations of our company. We believe these measures provide meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance the understanding of our operating performance and the trends of our business. Additionally, we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operations. The primary limitation of these measures is that they exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non-GAAP financial measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

 

Adjusted Operating Margin – represents operating margin (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, and other income or charges, if any.

 

Adjusted Earnings Per Share - represents diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. With regard to the forward-looking financial measure of our forecasted Adjusted EPS, reconciliation to the applicable forward-looking forecasted GAAP financial measure is not provided because it is not available without unreasonable effort.

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) – represents adjusted net operating profit after tax divided by average invested capital. We use Adjusted Return on Invested Capital as an indicator of our capital efficiency. Adjusted Return on Invested Capital is not a measure defined by GAAP. It is calculated by us, in part, using non-GAAP financial measures. We are providing our calculation of Adjusted Return on Invested Capital as this measure may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner.

Non - GAAP Financial Measures 5 Organic Net Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital are non - GAAP measures. We present non - GAAP measures as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider adjusted financial measures in addition to results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). These non - GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information and should not be considered replacements for results in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non - GAAP financial measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and in its decision - making processes related to the operations of our company. We believe these measures provide meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance the understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash, and the trends of our business. Additionally, we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operations. The primary limitation of these measures is that they exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non - GAAP financial measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. These non - GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly - titled measures reported by other companies. The following provides additional information regarding our non - GAAP financial measures: ▪ Organic Net Sales Growth – represents net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the preceding twelve months, if any. Organic Net Sales Growth is a useful measure of our performance because it excludes items that are not completely under management’s control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and items that do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. ▪ Adjusted Operating Margin – represents operating margin (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition - related charges, impairment of goodwill, and other income or charges, if any. ▪ Adjusted Earnings Per Share – represents diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition - related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. With regard to the forward - looking financial measure of our forecasted Adjusted EPS, reconciliation to the applicable forward - looking forecasted GAAP financial measure is not provided because it is not available without unreasonable effort. ▪ Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) – represents adjusted net operating profit after tax divided by average invested capital. We use Adjusted Return on Invested Capital as an indicator of our capital efficiency. Adjusted Return on Invested Capital is not a measure defined by GAAP. It is calculated by us, in part, using non - GAAP financial measures. We are providing our calculation of Adjusted Return on Invested Capital as this measure may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner.
