Shares of military contractor Emcore were set to rise after aerospace manufacturing company Velocity One agreed to buy it for $3.10 a share in cash, a 31% premium to Thursday's closing price.
Velocity One's agreement to buy the New Jersey-based provider of military-grade navigation equipment was backed by investment firm Charlesbank Capital Partners.
Velocity One will add Emcore to two other manufacturing firms the holding company owns: Cartridge Actuated Devices, which makes energetic devices; and Aerosphere Power, a maker of power systems for commercial and military applications.
Shares of Emcore closed Thursday at $2.37. Shares were halted premarket.
