Press Release 8 August 2018
Judges Scientific plc
("Judges Scientific", "Judges", the "Company" or the "Group")
Increase in shareholding in PE Fiberoptics Limited
Judges Scientific, a group involved in the buy and build of scientific instrument businesses, announces that its interest in its majority owned subsidiary PE Fiberoptics Limited ("PFO") has increased from 51% to 67.5%.
In 2005, Judges financed the management buy-out of a business manufacturing instruments to test fibre optics. The buy-out vehicle, PFO, was owned by Judges (51%), the seller (14%) with the management of PFO owning the balance of the equity (35%).
PFO has now purchased half of the shares owned by all shareholders other than Judges, satisfied by a portion of its surplus cash balances. As a result, PFO purchased 24.5% of its issued share capital. The total value of the repurchase was GBP1.5m, based on an enterprise value of GBP3.8m for 100% of PFO. In 2017, PFO generated GBP1.1m EBIT.
Following the repurchase PFO retains substantial cash resources and Judges Scientific's board expects the transaction to be immediately earnings enhancing for the Group.
