We believe that our technological synergies combined with our complimentary areas of expertise will empower SolarEdge's growing business group at a time when the world is undergoing a clean energy transformation and e-mobility revolution," stated Guy Sella, CEO, Chairman and Founder of SolarEdge.
The Company's current aggregate investment to purchase the SMRE shares was increased from 51% to 57% totaling approximately $85 million, up from the expected $77 million, including transaction-related expenses.
