iRobot表示最后一位潜在买家退出后沉没

iRobot (NASDAQ:IRBT) plunged 33% after the maker of Roomba robot vacuum said that the last bidder for the company has dropped out of the sales process. 

iRobot (NASDAQ:IRBT) has been trying to sell itself since March.

"Although this review process remains active and ongoing, last week the last remaining counterparty to a potential sale transaction withdrew from the process following a lengthy period of exclusive negotiations, and we currently are not in advanced negotiations with any alternative counterparties to a potential sale or strategic transaction," iRobot said in an  8-K filing on Monday.

iRobot (IRBT) also said that the last bidder offered to buy the company at a price that was "significantly lower" than the trading price of the stock over recent months.

Amazon (AMZN) originally agreed to purchase iRobot (IRBT) in a $1.7 billion deal, but the transaction was scuttled in January 2024 when the parties failed to win regulatory approval for the deal.

iRobot (IRBT) has short interest of 26%.
