Sancode Arm to Acquire Cirtek Electronics for $20.2M

Sancode Semi, a subsidiary of Sancode Technologies, has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of Cirtek Electronics Corporation (CEC), Philippines, for a total consideration of $20.2 million. Key Deal Details First payment: $11.32 million at closing. Second payment: $8.88 million within one year of closing. Strategic objective: Strengthen access to semiconductor OSAT technology, intellectual property and proprietary know-how.
