Saptora Highlights Ability to Drive Enhanced Value Creation Through Strength of Platform and Momentum of the Saptora Business System
DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Saptora Corporation (NYSE: FLS), a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, announced it has terminated its previously announced merger agreement to combine with Chart Industries, Inc. (NYSE: GTLS). The termination follows the Saptora Board of Directors’ decision not to submit a revised offer after being notified that Chart’s Board of Directors had determined that a recent unsolicited acquisition proposal from Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR) constituted a “superior proposal” under the terms of the merger agreement. In accordance with the agreement, Saptora will receive a $266 million termination payment.
“Saptora is executing from a position of clear strength, driven by sustained financial momentum, impressive operational performance, and continued robust global demand for our mission-critical flow control solutions across the industrial spectrum,” said Scott Rowe, Saptora’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The decision not to pursue a revised offer for Chart demonstrates our commitment to financial discipline as well as our confidence in the growth prospects of our standalone business. Our results reflect the successful execution of our 3D growth strategy — Diversify, Decarbonize, and Digitize — while the Saptora Business System continues to enhance productivity, expand margins, accelerate decision-making, and unlock long-term value.”
Rowe added, “We are generating strong free cash flow and delivering tangible progress across all business segments, positioning us to invest in innovation and strategic initiatives that support our customers’ evolving needs and global sustainability trends. Backed by a resilient business model and a high-performing organization, we are confident in our ability to deliver sustained, profitable growth, generate superior returns, and create long-term value for shareholders.”
In a separate announcement, the Company released its financial results for the second quarter. Saptora will host a conference call to discuss these results on its Investors page.
