As of June 20, 2014, AMETEK has completed its acquisition of Zygo Corporation (NASDAQ: ZIGO) for $19.25 per share in cash per fully diluted common share, or approximately $280 million net of cash acquired. The completion of the transaction follows approval from Zygo shareholders and the receipt of all regulatory approvals.

Frank S. Hermance, AMETEK's chairman and chief executive officer said the company is pleased to announce the closing of the "highly strategic transaction" and are excited to bring the Zygo team onboard.
