Announcement of Rights Offering
On February 20, 2025, Mtron announced that its Board authorized and approved a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") pursuant to which the Company will distribute transferable subscription rights (the "Rights") to purchase up to 582,233 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") to holders of record of Common Stock as 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 3, 2025 (the "Record Date").
The Rights Offering will give Company stockholders as of the Record Date the opportunity to subscribe for their basic subscription amount of newly issued shares of Common Stock in proportion to their respective existing ownership amounts. Company stockholders who exercise their respective full basic Rights will have over-subscription privileges giving such Company stockholders the option to subscribe for any shares of Common Stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the Rights Offering, subject to certain ownership limitations. If the aggregate Rights (basic subscriptions plus over-subscriptions) exceed the amount offered in the Rights Offering, then the aggregate over-subscription amount will be pro-rated among the Company's stockholders exercising their respective over-subscription privileges based on the basic subscription amounts of such stockholders.
Upon commencement of the Rights Offering, the Company will distribute to each holder of Common Stock as of the Record Date transferable Rights to purchase shares of Common Stock. The subscription price has yet to be determined. Each stockholder as of the Record Date will be issued one right for each outstanding share of Common Stock owned on the Record Date. Five (5) Rights can be used to purchase one share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued. Trading in the Rights on NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American") is expected to begin on a "when-issued" basis on February 28, 2025 under the symbol "MPTI RTWI." Trading in the Rights on NYSE American is expected to begin on a "regular way" basis on March 5, 2025 under the symbol "MPTI RT" and continue until the close of trading on NYSE American on March 20, 2025 (or, if the offer is extended, on the business day immediately prior to the extended expiration date). The Rights Offering is currently expected to commence promptly after the Record Date and expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 21, 2025, unless extended by the Company.
The Company reserves the right to modify, postpone or cancel the Rights Offering at any time prior to the closing of the sale of the Common Stock in the Rights Offering.
