NetworkNewsBreaks – Cepton Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) Enters Definitive Agreement to Embark on New Journey Together with Koito
Cepton (NASDAQ: CPTN), a Silicon Valley innovator and leader in high performance lidar solutions, is announcing the signing of a definitive agreement. The agreement provides for the acquisition of Cepton by Koito Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSE: 7276), a leading automotive tier one supplier. Specifically, Koito will acquire all the outstanding capital stock of Cepton not owned by itself in an all-cash transaction, with Cepton stockholders receiving $3.17 per share in cash. According to the announcement, the proposed transaction has been approved by each company’s Board of Directors and recommended to Cepton’s stockholders by Cepton’s Board of Directors. It is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to approvals. The proposed transaction is anticipated to accelerate the commercialization of Cepton’s lidar technology by increasing the company’s financial stability and scalability. After the transaction closes, Cepton will operate as a privately held indirect subsidiary of Koito in the U.S. The announcement noted that Cepton and Koito have partnered since 2017 to industrialize high-performance lidar solutions for mass-market automotive, smart infrastructure and industrial applications. “I am excited about the next stage of Cepton’s growth as we embark on a new journey together with Koito,” said Dr. Jun Pei, CEO and Co-Founder of Cepton. “Over the past few years, we have achieved many remarkable milestones in product innovation and development, establishing ourselves as one of the most trusted lidar solutions providers in the automotive industry. A significant portion of our efforts were greatly supported by Koito as our long-term partner and investor. As we carry on our pioneering spirit as a Silicon Valley company and deepen our commitment to driving cutting-edge innovation, leaning on Koito’s century-old heritage of engineering rigor will heighten our dedication to delivering quality solutions to customers worldwide.”
