Arxis Completes the Acquisition of Omnetics Connector Corporation

BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Arxis, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARXS) (the "Company" or "Arxis"), a publicly traded industrial compounder formed in partnership with Arcline Investment Management ("Arcline"), today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Omnetics Connector Corporation ("Omnetics"). The transaction was based on an agreed enterprise value of approximately $770 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. At closing and considering the recent increase in the Company's share price, Arxis issued 13,351,964 shares of its Class A common stock to the former Omnetics shareholders (approximately 3.1% of total common stock as of the closing date), which are subject to lockup provisions. As previously announced, the combined purchase price multiple with the MagCanica acquisition is approximately 12x FY27 estimated adjusted EBITDA.

Omnetics, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a leading designer and manufacturer of proprietary high-reliability Micro-D-Sub and Nano-D-Sub connectors and interconnect assemblies used in critical defense and space, commercial aerospace, and medical applications where size, weight, and reliability are mission critical. Omnetics will operate within Arxis' Electronic Components Segment.

The Omnetics acquisition reflects the differentiated value of the Arxis–Arcline partnership. Arcline provides Arxis with institutional capabilities that complement Arxis' operating expertise, including research-driven market mapping, proprietary sourcing access, disciplined underwriting, and proven capital allocation expertise. These capabilities, which are difficult for a standalone strategic acquiror to replicate, expand Arxis' addressable acquisition universe and strengthen its ability to acquire and integrate high-quality businesses with leading positions on long-duration platforms.

William Blair & Company, L.L.C. served as financial advisor to Arxis and Vermillion Capital served as advisor to Omnetics.
