It looks like Telit BoD passed on an opportunity to listen to additional offers from Lantronix. Lantronix would have been a good merger partner. NewsIN BRIEF: Telit Communications Ends Talks With Lantronix, Extends DbayTelit Communications PLC - internet of things and machine to machine communications company - ... Alliance News1 December, 2020 | 4:01PMEmail Form Telit Communications PLC - internet of things and machine to machine communications company - Notes deadline for Dbay Advisors Ltd takeover offer extended to December 18 from December 1. Commercial discussions are ongoing with Dbay, Telit adds. Also confirms discussions with Lantronix have been terminated.
Earlier in November the Lantronix proposal was considered by the board of Telit, together with its financial adviser, Rothschild & Co, and rejected. However, at the time, Telit said it remained in discussions with Lantronix to explore a possible transaction which could be in shareholders' interests, adding that the consideration for any offer, if made, was likely to be Lantronix shares.
Telit has also received an offer from U-blox Holding AG, priced at 250 pence per share.
In mid-November, the Swiss-listed semiconductor manufacturer said it believes a combination of the two companies has a "strong strategic rationale and could result in substantial synergies for both organisations".
Back in 2018, the Sunday Times reported that U-blox was considering a GBP150.0 million offer for Telit's automotive business.

I got another "update" from the company today that is not showing up on the Yahoo news feed yet. Top line expected to be slightly better than prior revised estimates but they are going to lose tens of millions on restructuring charges.

Down over 20% in the UK today because they want to "update" shareholders on why H2 will suck a lot worse than their optimistic guesses. I swear, I've held this stock for about 18 months now and I don't think I've ever had a press release that was good news for the shareholders. They cite the reason as being margins on new LTE products are less than those on 2G/3G. For some reason that is a surprise to them.
Both are 'internet of things' companies, designing and making technology that allows machines to communicate with each other.
