The Omnetics acquisition is a transformative bolt-on that significantly expands Arxis' defense/aerospace connector portfolio. The all-stock structure avoids cash burn but will dilute existing shareholders. Monitor for regulatory clearance (HSR) and any ARXS stock price weakness near the collar floor (85% of reference price), which would trigger a cash true-up. The MagCanica deal closed immediately, adding immediate revenue. The lock-up structure limits near-term selling pressure from Omnetics shareholders until Oct 2026.
