Veeco says Axcelis merger now expected to close by end of first quarter 2027

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a

Veeco and Axcelis said the previously announced all-stock merger is now expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2027, subject to satisfying or waiving all closing conditions, and that there can be no assurance the closing will occur on this timeline. Closing still depends on pending regulatory approval from China's State Administration for Market Regulation and a new Hart-Scott-Rodino Act submission, because current clearance is set to expire. Each Veeco share will convert into 0.3575 Axcelis shares at closing.

Key points

  • Expected closing: by the end of the first quarter of 2027, subject to all closing conditions
  • Pending approval from China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR); parties continue to work with SAMR
  • Current HSR Act clearance is pending expiry; parties plan to promptly make a new HSR submission
  • Exchange terms: each Veeco common share converts into 0.3575 Axcelis shares at closing
