Engaged to explore strategic alternatives for the Company, Cypress facilitated and managed a competitive sale process that led to a negotiated transaction with Mercury Computer Systems. Mercury agreed to pay $14.80 per share in cash for each of the outstanding shares of Micronetics, representing a premium of 97% over Micronetics’ closing price one day prior to the announcement of $7.49 and a 154% premium over Micronetics’ unaffected closing price.

Cypress advised Micronetics in all phases of the transaction including the auction sale process, due diligence, management presentations, negotiations with Mercury Computer Systems, and rendering a fairness opinion.
