Subsequent to the quarter, Safeguard sold its ownership stake in Sotera Wireless for $4.2 million in cash proceeds, representing a 1.5x cash-on-cash return for Safeguard. Our momentum remains strong and opportunities abound for additional M&A and value creation events in the future.”

McGroarty, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Safeguard. “Our net cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $191.5 million, after subtracting the total carrying value of debt outstanding of $50.2 million. As a result of net proceeds from our recent exit transactions, Safeguard has exceptional financial strength, flexibility and liquidity.”
