Circle8 confirms preliminary cash proposal for SThree plc; stresses no stock dilution
ATLANTIC INTERNATIONAL CORP.
- Submitted non-binding proposal to acquire SThree plc (STEM.L); early stage, no certainty a firm offer will follow.
- SThree generated ~£1.3B gross revenue in fiscal 2025; combined companies could approach $3B gross revenue.
- Deal structured to avoid issuing new Circle8 common stock, so existing shareholders would not be diluted.
- Strategic goal: build global IT/tech platform, expand in AI, cybersecurity, cloud, and managed services.
- Circle8 reiterates belief its Nasdaq valuation undervalues business scale and commercial momentum.
