Norsat said that moving forward it will continue to actively pursue new acquisitions. The company said it believes that current recessionary trends paired with its solid financial position and capital structure have created ideal conditions for growth through strategic acquisition.
“We are optimistic that we can close on at least three deals during the next five years,” Dr. Amiee Chan, Norsat CEO, stated in the press release. “That said, we will not undertake any acquisition unless it meets our strict criteria to provide strong value, further our strategic objectives and have the potential to be accretive to shareholders.”
