(Alliance News) - u-blox Holding AG on Monday said it does not intend to make an offer for Telit Communications PLC.
At the end of November, Telit had received a 250 pence per share takeover offer from u-blox.
At the beginning of January, the London-based company that focuses on software for the 'internet of things' terminated all-share merger talks with u-blox, saying that it believes that it would not now be possible to reach an agreement with u-blox on terms that would ensure value creation for its shareholders and that it does not consider that a "protracted period of uncertainty and distraction is in the best interests of Telit or any of its stakeholders.
On Monday, u-blox confirmed that it does not intend to make an offer for Telit.
In mid-December, Telit's largest shareholder DBAY Advisors Ltd said it did not intend to make a firm offer for the firm after Telit rebuffed its initial approach of GBP1.948 per share.
Telit shares closed up 1.2% in London on Monday at 205.00 pence each.
