(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SGMA#NASDAQ">SGMA</a>) (the "Company" or "SigmaTron"), an electronic manufacturing services company, today announced that they have entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which an affiliate of Transom will acquire the Company.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Company's Board of Directors, an affiliate of Transom will commence a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), for $3.02 per share in cash, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $83 million. The purchase price represents a premium of approximately 134% over the Company's closing market price on May 20, 2025, and approximately 136% over the Company's 30-day volume-weighted average price.
Transaction Details
The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2025, subject to the successful completion of the tender offer and other customary closing conditions. Following completion of the merger, the Company will be wholly owned by Transom and its shares will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.
The transaction is subject to the Company's stockholders validly tendering shares of Common Stock representing at least a majority of the voting power of the Company and other customary closing conditions.
Following the successful closing of the tender offer, an affiliate of Transom will acquire any shares of the Company that are not tendered in the tender offer through a second-step merger for the same consideration as paid in the tender offer.
The Company's Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the Company's stockholders tender their shares in the tender offer.
Further information regarding the terms and conditions in the definitive transaction agreement will be provided in the tender offer materials on Schedule TO and Schedule 14D-9, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the transaction.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock's overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

CommScope's Prodigy&#xAE; solution, which supports ubiquitous legacy hardened connectivity, will be combined with Emtelle's blowable fiber optic micro-cable as the first offering of its kind in North America.
The combination of Emtelle's REVOLink3&#x2122; cable, a versatile pre-connectorised 3-in-One drop cable, and CommScope's Prodigy hardened connectivity technology creates a powerful solution for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments. It enables fast, cost-effective installation while delivering the quality and performance service providers expect. Through this agreement, Emtelle has the ability to manufacture drop cables pre-terminated with the Prodigy universal FTTH connector—adding a consistent, installation-friendly option to their portfolio that supports faster rollouts, reduced costs and flexible integration across diverse network environments.
Tony Rodgers, Emtelle Group Chief Executive, said, "Emtelle is renowned throughout the world for producing innovative, ground-breaking solutions that not only simplify the installation process but also set new standards in the passive network solutions industry. Our REVOLink3 is the perfect example of this: since its introduction it has been hailed as a major leap forward in telecommunications infrastructure technology. To that end, we are delighted to be collaborating with CommScope to combine REVOLink3 with their proven Prodigy solution. Together this new, unique hardened connectivity will set a new benchmark for FTTH deployment in the North American market."
"We've always been proud of the innovative technology behind the Prodigy solution which allows it to service multiple types of terminals, and we're now pleased to see it utilized with a pushable and blowable fiber solution," noted John Chamberlain, VP Technology, Connectivity and Cable Solutions, CommScope. "We are excited to collaborate with Emtelle through this agreement. The interoperability, speed and simplicity provided with the Prodigy solution makes it an ideal option for the next generation for FTTH hardened connectivity and it's great to work with Emtelle to extend its availability in the North American market."
CommScope's Prodigy hardened connector product line offers the flexibility to mate to any legacy fiber optic hardened connector. In addition, the Prodigy connector's smaller footprint allows for smaller handholes and less visual impact, resulting in a more sustainable solution.

Digital Ally Announces 1-for-100 Reverse Stock Split

Kevin O&#8217;Leary, popularly known for his role in &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221;, has raised concerns about President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; and its potential impact on small businesses.
What Happened: O&#8217;Leary expressed his unease about a part of the bill related to small business tax audits, warning that it could &#8220;cause chaos in valuations,&#8221; in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6373110028112">Fox Business</a>. The bill, currently being discussed among House Republicans, suggests increased IRS audits linked to the Employee Retention Credit (ERC).
The ERC was originally designed to help businesses retain employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a new bill may grant the IRS expanded authority to audit small businesses that claimed the ERC for up to nine years. O&#8217;Leary warned that this could negatively impact business valuations. 
Proponents of the bill argue that increased oversight of the ERC program could help eliminate fraud, making the program less expensive and freeing up funds for other proposals in Trump&#8217;s policy agenda.
Despite often supporting Trump&#8217;s economic policies, O&#8217;Leary previously <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/kevin-oleary-goes-off-war-small-business-within-tax-bills-fine-print">said</a>, &#8220;This is war on small business.&#8221; as he spoke about the proposal. He plans to take the matter seriously, voicing his concern over the potential for heightened conflicts between the IRS and small businesses.
&#8220;Somebody&#8217;s got to raise the red flag and I am going to do it,&#8221; warned O&#8217;Leary.

Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time O&#8217;Leary has voiced his concerns about legislative issues. Previously, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45533976/mr-wonderful-kevin-o-leary-says-elizabeth-warren-taking-an-un-american-position-by-challen">criticized </a>Sen. Elizabeth Warren&#8216;s (D-Mass) opposition to the stablecoin legislation, calling it &#8220;un-American&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45533976/mr-wonderful-kevin-o-leary-says-elizabeth-warren-taking-an-un-american-position-by-challen">as reported by Benzinga</a>.
The &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; has been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45506863/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-advances-heres-who-wins-and-loses">contentious </a>issue, with Republicans praising it and Democrats criticizing it. The bill aims to make permanent the expiring provisions that benefit high-income and wealthy earners.
However, critics like economist Justin Wolfers have slammed the bill as &#8220;reverse Robin Hood economics,&#8221; arguing that it cuts social safety nets while preserving or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45535537/trumps-budget-agenda-is-reverse-robin-hood-economics-says-justin-wolferstakes-from-working-families-gives-to-the-rich">expanding benefits</a> for the ultra-wealthy.
 At the same time, according to  the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), The tax measures in the House GOP's "one big, beautiful bill" to advance Trump's domestic policy agenda are projected to reduce federal revenues by an amount equal to approximately 10% of the current national debt over the next decade. The CBO also predicted that it would add nearly $3.8 trillion to the national debt
