Written by Emily J. Thompson, Senior Investment Analyst
Star Equity Fund's Influence: Star Equity Fund, holding about 6% of Servotronics' stock, attributes the company's agreement with TransDigm to their shareholder advocacy efforts, which included director nominations and public pressure leading to strategic changes in the Board.
Transaction Details: The agreement involves TransDigm acquiring Servotronics at $47.00 per share, representing a 357% premium over its previous closing price, validating Star Equity's belief that Servotronics was undervalued as a standalone entity.
