Amtech expects to report a gain on the sale this quarter and reduced losses from discontinued operations beginning in the fourth fiscal quarter.
Mr. J.S. Whang, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amtech, stated “we are pleased with the timely divestiture of SoLayTec. Following Amtech’s March announcement to discontinue solar and to dedicate our resources to value-driving opportunities in our semiconductor and SiC/LED polishing businesses going forward, we engaged Oaklins Small Cap Adivsory B.V. located in the Netherlands, to advise on the divestiture of Tempress Holding B.V. Today, we are pleased to report that Oaklins is actively engaged in conversations with both private equity and strategic buyers.”
