Amphenol Begins Open Offer for ADC India Communications Shares

APH
April 02, 2026

Amphenol Corporation has launched a mandatory open offer to acquire 1,196,000 fully paid‑up shares of ADC India Communications Limited, representing 26.00 % of the target’s voting share capital. The offer price is INR 1,233.59 per share, equivalent to about US$13.03, and the total consideration is INR 1,475,373,640 (approximately US$15.59 million). The tendering period runs from April 2 to April 17 2026 in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers Regulations.

The open offer is a direct consequence of Amphenol’s acquisition of the Connectivity and Cable Solutions (CCS) business from Vistance Networks, Inc. (formerly CommScope Holding Company, Inc.) on August 3 2025. That transaction made ADC India an indirect majority‑owned subsidiary of Amphenol, triggering the SEBI requirement that a mandatory open offer be made to minority shareholders. The offer allows those shareholders to exit at a fixed price and ensures regulatory compliance.

Strategically, the CCS acquisition—valued at $10.5 billion—expands Amphenol’s fiber‑optic interconnect portfolio and positions the company to capture growth in AI infrastructure, 5G deployment, and data‑center markets. The open offer is a regulatory step in integrating ADC India into Amphenol’s global operations and reflects the company’s aggressive expansion strategy in high‑growth connectivity markets.

The open offer improves liquidity for minority shareholders and signals Amphenol’s commitment to shareholder value and regulatory adherence. It also underscores the company’s focus on strengthening its fiber‑optic capabilities and expanding its presence in emerging technology markets.
