ESAB Corporation has officially completed its significant $1.45 billion acquisition of Eddyfi Technologies, a strategic move to expand into advanced inspection and monitoring. This 8-K filing provides the detailed financial structure of the acquisition, including $318.0 million in new equity raised through private placements of common stock and mandatory convertible preferred stock.
