Arxis agrees to buy Omnetics for about $770 million in stock and closes MagCanica deal
Arxis signed a merger agreement dated May 29, 2026 to acquire Omnetics Connector Corporation, a maker of high-reliability connectors for defense, space, aerospace and medical uses, for about $770 million paid in Arxis Class A common stock, with $8 million held in cash escrow. The company also completed its all-cash acquisition of MagCanica Inc. on June 1, 2026; the filing does not state its price. Because Omnetics holders would receive new Arxis shares, the deal would increase the number of shares outstanding, and closing depends on regulatory approval.
