Stellant Systems, Inc. to Acquire Power Systems Technology Product Line from Comtech

TORRANCE, Calif. & MELVILLE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Oct. 12, 2023– Stellant Systems, Inc. (Stellant) and Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) (Comtech) today announced the companies entered into a definitive agreement under which Stellant will acquire Comtech’s Power Systems Technology (PST) product line for a total cash purchase price of $40 million, which includes a preliminary sales price of $35 million and contingent consideration up to $5 million based on the achievement of certain targets. The transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors of both companies. Stellant is a portfolio company of Arlington Capital Partners (Arlington), a Washington-D.C. based private equity firm with extensive experience investing in regulated industries.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231012807979/en/

The acquisition of the PST product line will strengthen Stellant’s portfolio of RF amplification products. PST’s rich heritage brings a differentiated set of technologies in the solid-state power amplification market, a talented work force and an almost entirely complimentary customer set to Stellant. Driving further innovation in solid state technology is a core principle of Stellant’s strategic vision to provide customers with best-in-class options across all amplification approaches, including vacuum tube and solid state.

Paul Russell, Chief Executive Officer of Stellant, said, “We are excited about the products and technology that PST brings to Stellant and look forward to investing in its technologies and employees to bring additional value to our customers. This partnership represents an important step in Stellant’s strategic vision and is another milestone in the Company’s 90-year history of technological innovations.”

Peter Manos, a Managing Partner at Arlington Capital Partners, added “PST’s market leading frequency and power capabilities with Gallium Nitride solid state power amplification combined with Stellant’s dominant frequency and power capabilities with travelling-wave tube power amplification creates, in our view, the technology leader in the market.”

“This decision is well aligned with our long-term vision for Comtech, and we are thrilled that our PST product line and associated team will have a tremendous opportunity to grow as part of Stellant,” said Ken Peterman, President, and CEO, Comtech. “We intend to use the net proceeds from this transaction to meaningfully reduce our outstanding debt, de-lever the balance sheet, reduce cash interest requirements, and provide flexibility to achieve our near-term strategic goals.”

The transaction is expected to close by the end of October 2023, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal counsel to Stellant Systems and Arlington Capital Partners. Evercore served as financial advisor and Morgan Lewis as legal counsel to Comtech.

MESA, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) (“ElectraMeccanica”), a designer and assembler of electric vehicles, today announced that its CFO, Mark Orsmond will be succeeded, effective immediately, by Stephen Johnston. Orsmond’s departure reflects a mutually-agreed transition and allows the outgoing CFO to pursue other interests, while leaving the Company’s financial reporting, cost controls and balance sheet in superior condition. Stephen Johnston, with whom Orsmond, ElectraMeccanica’s Board and the rest of its management team have been working in a consulting role since June, 2023, now will take on the business’s CFO responsibilities. Mr. Orsmond will continue to assist the Company with Johnston’s onboarding under a 60-day consulting agreement.

“Mark has been a tremendous asset to the Company and our team since I came on board as CEO last December,” said Susan E.

We’re extremely grateful for his contributions, and for his willingness to assist with Stephen’s onboarding. We wish him and his family the best in their next chapter.”

Ms. Docherty continued: “Stephen has proven himself and his value during a complex time for ElectraMeccanica’s business, demonstrating the benefits of both his private and public-company prior CFO experiences. My management team and Board are already familiar with him, his capabilities and his skills, and he couldn’t be a better fit for us at this time. We’re delighted that he’s able to fill a critical role so seamlessly.”

U. S. Steel Celebrates Launch of New Electrical Steel Line with Ribbon Cutting in Osceola, Arkansas

U. S. Steel Celebrates Launch of New Electrical Steel Line with Ribbon Cutting in Osceola, Arkansas

President & CEO David B. Burritt, public officials, customers, and employees gather to celebrate this significant milestone for U. S. Steel’s Best for All® strategy, sustainable steel solutions and the broader community

OSCEOLA, Ark.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) (“U. S. Steel”) today hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of its new, non-grain oriented (“NGO”) electrical steel line at its Big River Steel facility in Osceola, Arkansas. The successful startup of the line marks a significant milestone for U. S. Steel, as the line has the capacity to produce more tons of NGO electrical steel per year in the United States than any other domestic steelmaker, while supplying sustainable steel solutions that are best for people and the planet.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231012698579/en/

Steel Vice President – Construction; and Tommie Kifer, Operations Manager, Big River Steel Works. (Photo: Business Wire)

This new line is the latest example of U. S. Steel’s customer-centric strategy, as it expands its portfolio of products needed to serve growing markets and help customers meet their sustainability goals. The key product that will be produced on the line, InduX™, positions U. S. Steel as a crucial supplier for the expanding electric vehicle market, as no electric vehicle, motor, or generator today is operational without the steel grades needed to transform electrical power into usable energy. The line is the final step in a steelmaking process that utilizes up to 90% scrap steel as raw material and reduces carbon emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) up to 70-80% compared to traditional integrated steelmaking, while producing sustainable, infinitely recyclable steels like InduX™.

“The American manufacturing renaissance continues in Osceola today, thanks to the innovative minds and hard work of our employees,” said U. S. Steel President and Chief Executive Officer David B. Burritt. “This investment will enable us to serve our customers as they address growing markets, like electric vehicles, with the knowledge that the steel they are receiving is not only sustainable, but also mined, melted and made in America.”

Titled, “Energize the Future: EmPOWERing the Green Revolution,” the event underscored how Big River Steel remains focused on innovation and excellence, playing a key role in the industry’s transformation to low-carbon steel production. It was one of the first mills in the world to be LEED® certified and the first steel mill in North America to receive ResponsibleSteel™ site certification. The new line is the length of nearly eight football fields at approximately 2,333 feet long, and with a 200,000-ton annual capacity.

“Hundreds of our industry-best employees made today possible. Every day, their dedication to this community and to American manufacturing are building this country to be stronger and more sustainable than ever before. This investment will allow our customers to purchase more steel made here in the USA and help them to meet their own sustainability goals,” said U. S. Steel Senior Vice President of Advanced Technology Steelmaking and Chief Operating Officer of Big River Steel Works, Daniel R. Brown.

A newly released economic impact study revealed, in 2022, Big River Steel generated $383.2 million in total economic impact1, contributing $16.3 million in state and local taxes, and supporting and sustaining 1,747 jobs (direct and indirect/induced) that provide workers and their families opportunity for upward mobility. Big River Steel is projected to have $5.2 billion in construction impact, based on $3 billion of direct spending over 4-plus years on Big River Steel 2, the largest single investment in Arkansas’ state history.

“Congratulations to U. S. Steel for opening their newest steel line at Osceola’s Big River Steel facility. As this project shows, when business, government, and communities work together, anything is possible,” said Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Following the full acquisition of Big River Steel in 2021, U. S. Steel commenced construction of the NGO line in October 2022. The $450 million project was completed on time and on budget.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This release contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. U. S. Steel intends the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in those sections. Generally, we have identified such forward-looking statements by using the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “target,” “forecast,” “aim,” “should,” “plan,” “goal,” “future,” “will,” “may” and similar expressions or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of, among other things, the construction or operation of new or existing facilities or operating capabilities, operating or financial performance, trends, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, statements relating to volume changes, share of sales and earnings per share changes, anticipated cost savings, potential capital and operational cash improvements, changes in the global economic environment, including supply and demand conditions, inflation, interest rates, supply chain disruptions and changes in prices for our products, statements regarding our future strategies, products and innovations, statements regarding our greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals, statements regarding existing or new regulations and statements expressing general views about future operating results. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the Company’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company’s control. It is possible that the Company’s actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the time made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and its present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and those described from time to time in its future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investor Notice

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, as amended for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on June 6, 2023 and August 3, 2023. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
