CommScope Sells CCS Segment To Amphenol Corporation For $10.5 billion
CommScope has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Connectivity and Cable Solutions (CCS) segment to Amphenol Corporation. CommScope is selling its CCS business to Amphenol for approximately USD $10.5 billion in cash, to be paid by Amphenol upon closing. The sale is expected to close within the first half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the affirmative vote of the shareholders. The vote is required under Delaware law due to the nature and size of the transaction. The Company expects net proceeds after taxes and transaction expenses to be approximately $10 billion. After repaying all debt, redeeming all preferred equity, which is held by global investment firm Carlyle, and adding modest leverage on the remaining business, the Company will have significant excess cash. The Company expects to distribute this excess cash to shareholders as a dividend within 60 to 90 days following the closing of the proposed transaction. The exact amount and timing of the dividend will be determined by the Company after closing and after taking into account all relevant factors. 'I'm excited to announce this transformational deal that unlocks equity value, returns cash to our shareholders and strengthens our remaining businesses,' said Chuck Treadway, CEO, CommScope. 'ANS and RUCKUS will continue to stay focused on what matters most—our shareholders, customers, employees and other stakeholders. In our ANS and RUCKUS businesses, we will continue to develop the next generation of network connectivity. CommScope's CCS business is positioned to continue to perform well under Amphenol's leadership.'
