New York / Washington D.C., 05 January 2021 – Global law firm Hogan Lovells is advising FLIR Systems, Inc., a leading industrial technology company focused on intelligent sensing solutions for defense and industrial applications, on its agreement to be acquired by Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately US$8 billion.
Under the terms of the agreement, FLIR stockholders will receive US$28.00 per share in cash and 0.0718 shares of Teledyne common stock for each FLIR share, which implies a total purchase price of US$56.00 per FLIR share based on Teledyne’s 5-day volume weighted average price as of 31 December, 2020. The transaction reflects a 40% premium for FLIR stockholders based on FLIR’s 30-day volume weighted average price as of December 31, 2020.
