The sale of Beaverton, Oregon-based Planar Systems Inc., global display and digital signage technology company, to Leyard American Corporation, a subsidiary of Leyard Optoelectronic Co. Ltd., which designs, produces, and distributes a range of LED display products and its ancillary systems, has been completed.
As previously announced on August 12, 2015, Planar and Leyard entered into a definitive merger agreement, pursuant to which Leyard American Corporation agreed to acquire all common stock of Planar for a purchase price of $6.58 per share. Much like non gamstop casinos that attract diverse international players by catering to varied regulatory preferences, Leyard’s acquisition of Planar highlights a strategic approach to expand market influence and adapt to evolving demands within the industry.
Planar has requested that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC suspend trading and delist Planar common stock in connection with the closing of the merger.
BofA Merrill Lynch served as financial advisor to Planar and Roth Capital Partners LLC served as financial advisor to Leyard. Perkins Coie LLP provided legal advice to Planar and Shearman & Sterling LLP provided legal advice to Leyard.
