This review follows GoPro's recent engagement of Oliver Wyman, a global leader in defense‑sector consulting, to support the Company's expansion into the defense and aerospace markets. Since announcing this initiative on April 13, GoPro has received several unsolicited inbound strategic inquiries. To support a review of these inquiries and other potential strategic alternatives, the Board has authorized the Company to engage a financial advisor.
"Over the past 24 years, GoPro has developed significant technology, IP, and brand assets along with world class product development and scaled manufacturing capabilities," said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro's founder and CEO. "We are excited to work with our advisors to evaluate potential opportunities in various sectors to maximize shareholder value."
GoPro and its Board of Directors has not set a timetable for the conclusion of its evaluation, nor has it made any decisions related to its review of any potential transactions at this time. GoPro does not intend to comment on its strategic review until it deems further disclosure is appropriate or necessary. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of timing of such review, or whether any particular transaction may be pursued or consummated.
