The company’s guidance contains forward-looking statements and
actual results may differ materially as a result of known and
unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below
under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.” In addition,
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a
non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking
non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in projecting and
quantifying the various adjusting items necessary for such
reconciliations, such as stock-based compensation expense,
amortization and depreciation expense, merger and acquisition
activity and purchase accounting adjustments, that have not yet
occurred, are out of Mirion’s control, or cannot be reasonably
predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations of our guidance for organic
and inorganic revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and adjusted
free cash flow are not available without unreasonable effort.
Strategic Partnership
Memorandum of Understanding Signed with Electronics
Corporation of India Ltd
Mirion signed, with its Indian partner AdvanceTech, a Memorandum
of Understanding with Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL),
the leading player in this market, to support the rapid growth of
India's nuclear sector. This partnership will leverage Mirion's
expertise in advanced radiation monitoring systems and ECIL’s local
manufacturing and market insights to jointly fabricate, assemble,
test, and supply radiation monitors. Through this collaboration,
both companies aim to address the demands of India’s nuclear
infrastructure expansion.
Share Repurchase Program
Will announce a $100 million share repurchase program
The company will also announce a share repurchase program for up
to $100 million of the currently outstanding shares of the
company’s Class A common stock, as approved by the Board of
Directors of the company. The share repurchase program is designed
to mitigate the going forward dilutive impact of shares issued
under the company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan and to provide
management with capital structure flexibility while concurrently
managing objectives related to balance sheet leverage, acquisition
opportunities, and shareholder returns. Under the share repurchase
program, the company intends to repurchase shares through open
market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block
purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal
securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
The Board also authorized the company to enter into written
trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Adopting a
trading plan that satisfies the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 allows a
company to repurchase its shares at times when it might otherwise
be prevented from doing so due to self-imposed trading blackout
periods or pursuant to insider trading laws. Under any Rule 10b5-1
trading plan, the company’s third-party broker, subject to United
States Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding
certain price, market, volume and timing constraints, would have
authority to purchase the company’s Class A common stock in
accordance with the terms of the plan. The company may from time to
time enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate the
repurchase of its Class A common stock pursuant to its share
repurchase program.
The company cannot predict when or if, or at what prices, it
will repurchase any shares of Class A common stock as such stock
repurchase program will depend on a number of factors, including
constraints specified in any Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, price,
general business and market conditions, the terms of the company's
debt agreements and alternative investment opportunities. Further,
the stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any
time by the company without prior notice. Information regarding
share repurchases will be available in the company’s periodic
reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the
Exchange Act.
